On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., was speaking at a congressional hearing regarding the finances of First Child Hunter Biden, and she showed some graphic photos to illustrate her point… and it caused a Democratic meltdown.
Some liberals called for her to be prosecuted under D.C.’s statute criminalizing revenge porn. MeidasTouch, a liberal Super PAC, called Greene’s actions “a textbook example of revenge porn.” Another observer pointed to the criminal code and asked, “So should she go to jail?”
Greene responded in an interview Thursday… and she had no patience for these allegations.
“How is that possible?” Greene told The Washington Times, regarding accusations that she posted revenge porn. “Hunter Biden uploaded his own sex videos on porn sites. So that’s not anything I did wrong. He wanted people to see him.”
The Georgia Republican slammed her political rivals for changing the subject.
“The real question,” Greene said. “Did Hunter Biden receive payments for the porn that he uploaded on the sites? And if he was … basically selling on these porn sites, did he pay taxes?”
The day before, Greene was showing the graphic photos in order to raise suspicions about Hunter Biden’s tax forms.
“This is not really what most paralegals do for law firms,” Greene told Congress at the time, holding up a heavily censored photo of a nearly nude woman. “Parental discretion is advised.”
Take a look —
Here is proof Hunter Biden paid prostitutes through his law firm, OWASCO PC, and trafficked his victims across state lines in violation of the Mann Act.

The same day as Greene’s interview, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley released an unclassified document that Republicans say is significant in their investigation of Hunter Biden as they delve into the financial affairs of the president and his son, and revive previously debunked claims of wrongdoing.
Grassley of Iowa has been working alongside House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., as Republicans deepen their probe of President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, ahead of the 2024 election. Comer had issued a subpoena for the document from the FBI.
While lawmakers on the Oversight Committee have already been able to partly review the information, this is the first time the full document — which contains raw but unverified information — is being made public. Called an FD-1023 form, it involves claims a confidential informant made in 2020 about Hunter Biden’s alleged business dealings when he served on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Top Republicans have acknowledged they cannot confirm whether the information is true.
“The American people can now read this document for themselves,” Grassley said.
In the four-page document, the confidential informant claims to have been involved in various meetings some years earlier, in 2015 or 2016, with officials from the Burisma energy company looking to do business in the United States. The informant claims being told by Burisma officials about their relationship and dealings with Hunter Biden.
One company official said they kept Hunter Biden on the Burisma board because they believed through “his dad” it could protect them from all kinds of problems, the informant claimed.
In another instance, a top company official suggested payment of $5 million to each of the Bidens as the company sought to have Ukraine’s prosecutor general at the time, Viktor Shokin, removed from office, according to the document.
White House spokesman Ian Sams said Thursday, “It is remarkable that congressional Republicans, in their eagerness to go after President Biden regardless of the truth, continue to push claims that have been debunked for years.”
“The American people must be able to read this record for themselves. I thank Senator Grassley for providing much needed transparency,” Comer said.
Hunter Biden pleaded guilty last month to charges over his finances after years of failing to pay taxes. Republicans have denounced the agreement with federal prosecutors as a “sweetheart deal.”
The top prosecutor in the case, U.S. Attorney David Weiss in Delaware, has said he is willing to testify before the House panel once he is legally able to share information with Congress without violating the longstanding department policy of discussing an ongoing investigation.
Testimony from Justice Department officials could come after Hunter Biden appears for his plea hearing next week.
