The complaint, sent by Biden attorney Abbe David Lowell to the Office of Congressional Ethics, calls for an immediate review of Greene's actions during the House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing.
In the letter, Lowell condemns Greene's behavior as a violation of House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct. He states, "This week, your colleague has lowered herself, and by extension the entire House of Representatives, to a new level of abhorrent behavior that blatantly violates House Ethics rules and standards of official conduct. If the OCE takes its responsibilities seriously, it will promptly and decisively condemn and discipline Ms. Greene for her latest actions."
During the hearing, Greene held up images taken from Hunter Biden's laptop that depicted him in sexual positions with various individuals. She prefaced her questioning by stating, "Before we begin, I would like to let the committee and everyone watching at home [know] that parental discretion is advised."

Lowell accuses Greene of engaging in a "political stunt" at the expense of the dignity of the legislature. He writes, "Rather than evaluate the credibility of the IRS agents' testimony or review our tax laws, Ms. Greene sought to use the power of her office to generate some clicks online, fundraise, and provide sensationalist clips for Fox News at the expense of harassing and embarrassing Mr. Biden, a private citizen."

Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, who serves on the oversight committee, strongly criticized Greene's behavior. He stated, "Yesterday they took us to a new low when Marjorie Taylor Greene decided for completely gratuitous reasons to show purported pornographic scenes of Hunter Biden. I mean, if that is not a violation of the rules of decorum of the House, then we don't have rules of decorum in the House. And I've been telling Republicans, if those images were in a book, they'd be voting to ban them. Instead, they decided to display them to the whole country in the House of Representatives."
