## Transcript

I'm here today to answer at a public hearing any legitimate questions chairman Comer and the house oversight committee may have for me. I'm here today to make sure that the house committees illegitimate investigations of my family did not proceed on distortions manipulated evidence and lies. And I'm here today to acknowledge that I made mistakes in my life and wasted opportunities and privileges. I was afforded. For that I'm responsible for that. I'm accountable and for that I'm making amends. But I'm also here today to correct how the mega race has betrayed me for their political purposes. During my battle with addiction.

My parents were there for me. They literally saved my life. They helped me in ways that I will never be able to repay. Of course, they would never expect me to. And the attempts of my diction. I was extremely responsible with my finances. But to suggest that is grounds for impeachment inquiry is beyond the Absurd. It's Shameless. There's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen. There is no fairness or decency and what these Republicans are doing. They have lied over and over about every aspect of my personal and professional life so much so that their lies have become the false facts Believe by too many people.

No matter how many times do the Davante they continue to insist that my father support of Ukraine against Russia is the result of a non-existent drive. They displayed naked photos of me during an oversight hearing. And I'm taking the white of my dad's love. The light of my dad's love for me and presented it as Darkness. They have no shame. The same committee chairman have engaged in unprecedented political interference. And what would have already been in a five-year investigation of me? Yet here. I am mister chairman. Taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.

Black chosen. I'm scared to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee's legitimate questions. Republicans do not want An open process where Americans can see their tactics? Expose their baseless inquiry or hear what I have to say. What are they afraid of? I'm here. I'm ready.
