Congressional Republicans plan to initiate contempt proceedings after Hunter Biden defied a subpoena requiring his testimony for a closed-door deposition.
The first son tried to set the rules for the deposition, saying last month that he would only appear for a public hearing. No other witness in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into allegations of Biden family corruption has appeared at a public hearing — only closed-door depositions. Biden was to be treated no differently, according to Chairman James Comer (R).
Instead of appearing at the deposition, Hunter gave a brief speech to reporters on Capitol Hill. One sentence in particular from his statement is raising eyebrows.
