AOC Disputes RICO As Crime In Hunter Biden Hearing

U.S. President Biden's son Hunter to face tax charges in federal court

During an impeachment hearing, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., questioned Hunter Biden's ex-associate Tony Bobulinski about potential crimes involving President Joe Biden. AOC pressed Bobulinski on whether he personally witnessed President Biden committing a crime, leading to a tense exchange.

Bobulinski alleged that President Biden was involved in financial corruption and a RICO violation in his business dealings with his son, Hunter. AOC challenged Bobulinski's claims, stating that RICO is a category of crimes, not a specific crime itself.

Following the heated exchange, social media buzzed with reactions to AOC's statement about RICO not being a crime. Republicans criticized her comment, highlighting the legal definition of RICO as a federal law targeting dishonest business activities and organized crime.

Bobulinski, who has been vocal about his concerns regarding the Bidens' business dealings, criticized Hunter Biden for not appearing at the congressional hearing. He accused President Biden of enabling his son to sell access to America's adversaries like China and Russia.

In response to the allegations, President Biden has denied any wrongdoing and called for the impeachment investigation to be closed. Bobulinski emphasized the importance of truth and transparency in addressing the issues within the political system, urging the nation to fight for the truth.

As the impeachment inquiry continues, the conflicting testimonies and allegations surrounding the Bidens' business dealings have sparked intense debates and scrutiny from both sides of the political spectrum.
