Raskin responds to Comer on MTG’s display of Hunter Biden’s explicit photos.
Rep. Jamie Raskin Slams House Oversight Committee Chairman for Failing to Reprimand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
During a recent congressional hearing, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) expressed his outrage towards House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) for not taking action against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). Greene had displayed explicit photographs of Hunter Biden, the president’s son, during the hearing, and Raskin was appalled by Comer’s lack of response.
Explicit Photographs Revealed During IRS Whistleblower Hearing
The hearing focused on two IRS whistleblowers who claimed that the investigation into Hunter Biden was politically influenced. In a shocking turn of events, Greene revealed several large, explicit photographs of Hunter Biden engaging in sexual acts. Raskin was furious with Comer for allowing Greene to continue and even sharing video footage of her testimony online.
“Your failure to halt Rep. Greene’s display of pornographic photography during Committee proceedings undermines the integrity of this Committee and the House of Representatives,” Raskin wrote. “During an interview, you had an opportunity to disavow her lewd display, but instead, you further undermined the integrity of this Committee by dismissing its significance and expressing only support for her actions.”
Greene had issued a warning before showing the explicit pictures, stating, “Parental discretion is advised” due to the nature of the content being displayed from Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Raskin described the display as a “completely gratuitous and irrelevant” use of pornographic images during a televised hearing. He argued that if Greene’s actions are not considered a violation of decorum, then there are no rules of Congressional decorum in place.
Comer’s Response and Raskin’s Concerns
In response to Raskin’s letter, Comer released a statement to the Washington Examiner, saying, “It speaks to ranking member Raskin’s priorities that he is more concerned about Hunter Biden’s embarrassment than the young women he involved in his illegal activities. I hope ranking member Raskin will join me in asking the Justice Department about Hunter Biden’s Mann Act violations and why the victims’ rights have been ignored.”
Raskin criticized Comer for failing to stop Greene’s actions, which he believed undermined the integrity of the committee. He urged Comer to acknowledge that Greene’s use of pornographic images violated House rules and to ensure that such incidents do not occur again in future hearings.
Greene’s office did not provide a comment in response to the situation.

Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, condemned Greene’s actions, stating, “We are curious to hear how that instance of pure harassment of a private person’s personal life informed Congress of some real gap in our tax laws.” He added, “Nothing is beneath Ms. Greene.”
