Jamie Raskin says Hunter Biden ‘exercising his Second Amendment rights’ in jab at Republicans – By Jessica Chasmar (FOX News) / July 19, 2023
Hunter Biden ‘received no special treatment,’ Raskin declared
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., described Hunter Biden as a “rich guy exercising his Second Amendment rights” in a jab at House Republicans during their hearing Wednesday of IRS whistleblowers alleging misconduct in investigations into the Biden family.
The House Oversight Committee interviewed two IRS whistleblowers alleging political misconduct throughout the Hunter Biden investigation: special agent Joseph Ziegler, whose identity was revealed during the hearing, and his IRS supervisor Gary Shapley, who previously blew the whistle on alleged political influence surrounding prosecutorial decisions throughout the years-long federal probe into the president’s son.
Raskin, the committee’s ranking Democratic member, described the Republicans as hypocritical during his opening statement and said Hunter Biden “received no special treatment.”
