Comer expressed his satisfaction with the deposition, stating, “I think this was a great deposition for us.

Hunter Biden and his attorneys had been pushing for a public hearing and finally agreed to a deposition after facing the possibility of being held in contempt of Congress. Comer had previously stated his openness to a public hearing, but only after the deposition.
Throughout the day, members of Congress shared their opinions on the closed-door deposition. Democrats claimed it was a waste of time and argued that the impeachment inquiry was falling apart. Republicans, on the other hand, stated that Hunter Biden was responsive to questions but provided defiant and dishonest testimony.
In his opening statement, Hunter Biden declared, “I am here today to provide the Committees with the one uncontestable fact that should end the false premise of this inquiry: I did not involve my father in my business.” However, former Biden family associates have suggested that the Biden “brand” played a role in their business ventures and that Joe Biden may have had interactions with Hunter Biden’s business partners.

Abbe Lowell, Hunter Biden’s lawyer, criticized Republicans for not presenting any evidence of financial transactions between his client and President Joe Biden during the deposition. Instead, he claimed that they focused excessively on Hunter Biden’s struggles with drug addiction. When asked about Hunter Biden’s potential appearance at a public hearing, Lowell did not provide a clear answer.
Comer expressed his hope that a public hearing would resolve discrepancies between statements made by associates and the testimony given during the deposition. He also mentioned the possibility of releasing the deposition transcript in the next few days, pending an agreement between both parties.
In addition to the impeachment inquiry, Hunter Biden is facing federal gun and tax charges. As President Joe Biden seeks re-election amidst the impeachment probe, Hunter Biden has linked his fight to remain sober with the future of democracy and keeping former President Donald Trump out of the White House.
“Maybe it’s the ultimate test for a recovering addict — I don’t know,” Biden said, according to Axios. “I have always been in awe of people who have stayed clean and sober through tragedies and obstacles few people ever face. They are my heroes, my inspiration.” He also emphasized, “I have something much bigger than even myself at stake. We are in the middle of a fight for the future of democracy.”
