A Republican counsel at the House Judiciary Committee impeachment hearing cut out comments about President Donald Trump's children Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric from the section he quoted.
A former acting solicitor general who wrote a book on the case for impeaching President Donald Trump criticized as"pathetic" the selective quoting of his text by the House Judiciary Committee's Republican counsel Paul Taylor.
"It's very similar to a lot of other things they've been doing to try and defend the president," said Neal Katyal, a prominent Supreme Court lawyer who served in the Obama administration and is now a professor at Georgetown University, appearing Wednesday night on MSNBC's"This isn't a one-off. This is the defense. It's so bad, it's so pathetic, and it's based on, ultimately, lies.
The following section of Katyal's book was read by Taylor during Wednesday's impeachment hearing at the judiciary committee. "Is what Hunter Biden did wrong? Absolutely. Hunter Biden had no real experience in the energy sector, which made him wholly unqualified to sit on the board of Burisma. The only logical reason the company could have had for appointing him was his ties to Vice President Biden.
"This kind of nepotism isn't only wrong; it is a potential danger to our country, since it makes it easier for foreign powers to buy influence [...] No politician, from either party, should allow a foreign power to conduct this kind of influence-peddling with their family members."
