WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Newsline on Newsmax to discuss the weeks-long disappearance of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as well as Wednesday's House Oversight and Accountability Committee Mark-Up recommending that Hunter Biden be held in contempt of Congress.

Watch the full interview here. 

As Secretary of Defense, you don't get to disappear:

"Listen, the same thing happened with Pete Buttigieg. He disappeared for two months. Nobody even knew he was gone. Now it's Lloyd Austin when he had a procedure. On a personal level, I hope his health is ok, but as Secretary of Defense, you don't get to disappear where nobody knows that you're around. That is unconscionable. But again, this falls at the feet of the Biden administration. This is now the second cabinet secretary who's been lost, gone, when he's supposed to be on the job. We already know Joe Biden isn't there every single day. He taking naps, or in Rehoboth Beach, or wherever he is. He's not doing his job everyday. It is apparent that Lloyd Austin is not. We have serious problems with this administration."

Joe Biden is the 'Master of Disaster,' and oh by the way, he is corrupt:

"What he wanted was publicity. That's what he wanted. Apparently, his financial-backer, who was with him yesterday, is also shooting a documentary for Hunter Biden, so they're trying to cash-in every way possible. But be very clear, Hunter Biden is a shakedown artist. That's what he's been his entire time, and he's using Congressional procedures and proceedings to help him do that. Secondarily, what the Democrats are trying to do is make a farce of anything that is occurring up here on Capitol Hill, because they can't talk about border security, they can't talk about our economy, they can't talk about their record when it comes to foreign policy. Joe Biden is the 'Master of Disaster,' and oh by the way, he is corrupt. So, the Democrats are trying to distract and dissemble...Hunter Biden wants...more footage for the documentary so he can go make money later down the line."
