Freshmen Democrats work to turn Biden impeachment effort on its head

Rep. Jasmine Crockett was sitting in a House Oversight Committee hearing last fall, growing increasingly frustrated as she listened to Republicans accuse President Joe Biden of impeachable offenses without producing any evidence, when she had an idea.

Crockett, a freshman Democrat from Texas and former defense attorney, summoned an aide and asked them to quickly print out a stack of photos showing the boxes of sensitive government documents stashed by a toilet at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump’s club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Moments later, Crockett was brandishing the photos above her head, accusing Republicans of ignoring clear evidence that Trump had violated the law while pushing allegations against Biden for which they had shown no proof.
