Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett joined other Democrats in criticizing Republicans for pushing ahead with an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden while the U.S. government faces the possibility of a shutdown of the government.
The GOP alleges Biden financially benefited during his tenure as vice president from 2009 to 2017 through his son Hunter Biden’s overseas business ventures.

Republicans, who have a slim majority in the House of Representatives, went forward with their hearing instead of addressing the looming shutdown.

She waved another printed photograph, “This looks like more evidence of our national secrets … say, on the stage at Mar-a-Lago.”
