Rep. Jasmine Crockett reclaimed her time during an impeachment inquiry in a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday.
During testimony, Crockett provided a line of questioning to Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner to Hunter Biden, who currently faces allegations that his father, President Joe Biden, profited from his son’s business during his time as vice president.
The Texas lawmaker asserted that Bobulinski and Republican politicians are concocting accusations of misconduct against the president to support former President Donald Trump’s campaign in the upcoming 2024 election.
“So far in this hearing, it has felt like the worst episode of The Apprentice. I’m sure you’re familiar with that show,” Crockett said. “It seems like my colleagues, and maybe you and some others are trying to become the next vice president of the United States of America. You’re auditioning or something like that.”
Once she cast doubt on Bobulinski’s credibility, he endeavored to speak over Crockett, only to be swiftly silenced by her. View the exchange below.
CROCKETT: And, sir, I definitely have always had issues with your credibility, as I know that you are very well aware of. So let me remind you of what happened behind closed doors.
BOBULINSKI: Well, you should ask Ro Khanna about my credibility.
CROCKETT: I haven’t asked you a question. Okay? When I ask you a question that’s when you answer. Otherwise, I’m talking.
BOBULINSKI: Excuse me?
CROCKETT: With my time because it’s my time. I want to be clear that when we were behind closed doors, you called a number of people liars. You called the Wall Street Journal liars. You called Cassidy Hutchinson a liar. You call the FBI a liar. You called Rob Walker a liar. You call James Gillard a liar. You called Hunter Biden a liar. You call Jim Biden a liar. And just today, you added to your list. You called my colleague, Congressman Mr. Goldman, a liar as well. It seems like, according to you, the only person that’s telling the truth is you. And everyone else is lying. But I want to move on to something else.
BOBULINSKI: Is that a question?
CROCKETT: It’s not a question. Okay. You’ll know when I ask you a question, I promise.
