Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) wore a mask of Russian leader Vladimir Putin to the Republican-led House Oversight Committee hearing on the Biden family’s business dealings on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
“I just came to thank [Chairman] James Comer for taking all of our intelligence and using it in the committee. Maybe he can come see the technology in our grocery stores,” Moskowitz said playing Putin.
“Congressman, don’t you think this behavior is kind of immature?” a reporter asked as the Florida Democrat walked into the hearing room.
Democrats and other critics of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden have called for the GOP to put an end to its efforts following the indictment of a key witness on charges of lying to the FBI. Alexander Smirnov had contact with a number of Russian officials and admitted Russian intelligence officials were involved in passing him a false story about the president’s son Hunter Biden, according to a court document.
Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani, testified at Wednesday’s hearing that he “found precisely zero evidence of the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine” when he was tasked by Donald Trump and the former president’s former lawyer to try to dig up dirt on the Bidens. “The only information ever pushed on the Bidens in Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents,” Parnas told the committee.
