The last thing I heard is that we have a couple people who haven't paid taxes. Hunter Biden is one, and more than likely so is President Biden. The IRS should not be the agency that goes after criminals. That is an agency called the FBI…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Tennessee will be postponed. Amendment No. 16 Offered by Mr. Davidson The Acting CHAIR. It…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 23, beginning on line 12, strike ``above the levels in the possession of the Internal Revenue Service…
