Amendment to Thein Amendmentn the nature of a substitute offered by mr. Gates of florida page three strike lines 10 through 11 and insert the following. A, aer wellknown Corrupt Compa Burisma and corrupt hiring of hunter biden. The gentleman is recognized to e
if the president was pursuing something under which there was no reasonable basis to ask a question about hunter biden and burisma. hunter biden and burisma, that s an interesting story. i think just about every americank knows there s somethg up with that. $86,000 a month, no experience, working for some foreign government while your dad is the vice president of the united states. is there anybody who believes this is okay? i know a few of my democratic colleague who is might run for president one day, would you let your vice president have their son or daughter or family member out moonlighting for some foreign company? maybe i ll use language familiar to the former president. come on, man, this looks derty as it is. hunter biden was making five times more than a board member for exxon mobil. i ve heard of that company. i found this very extensive

in an upcoming presidential election campaign? is the gentleman seeking an answer?an does the gentleman yield? the silence the gentleman has the time. was and is deafening. and there will be plenty of time for you toe respond to that question, and i would invite to youi do so. i gave you an opportunity of about 10 or 15 seconds while could you get your story together and nobody came up with a story, so i will let you move to strikewi the last word and explain that to the american people. it s never proper for a united states president to hold a
