Hunter Biden agrees to testify before House committees on father’s impeachment efforts

In a surprising turn of events, Hunter Biden has finally agreed to testify in the House impeachment investigation regarding his father, President Joe Biden. This comes after his previous refusal to participate, citing concerns about misinterpretation of his statements.
Hunter, 53, has “raised a white flag” in a letter to Congress, with the assistance of his lawyer, Abbe Lowell.
Previously, Hunter had declined to participate in a closed-door deposition, expressing concerns about potential misconstrual of his statements.
“If you issue a new proper subpoena, now that there is a duly authorized impeachment inquiry, Mr. Biden will comply for a hearing or deposition. We will accept such a subpoena on Mr. Biden’s behalf,” Lowell wrote.
Following Hunter’s disruptive behavior during the Oversight hearing, which angered Republicans, the House Judiciary and Oversight committees have decided to pursue contempt charges against him.
Instead of attending the planned deposition, Hunter made a confrontational statement asserting that his father had no financial involvement in his foreign business operations.
The minimum sentence for contempt of Congress is 30 days in jail. However, if the full House votes in favor of the penalty, President Biden’s nominees in the Justice Department will determine whether legal action should be pursued.
As of Friday, it remains uncertain whether the House will proceed with the contempt resolution while investigating the president’s alleged involvement in Hunter and James Biden’s business transactions in countries such as China, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Russia.
Republicans argue that President Biden was involved in his son and brother’s foreign business affairs and profited from them, even while serving as vice president.
Republicans have expressed their willingness to hold a public hearing with Hunter Biden, who frequently involved his father in his foreign dealings. However, they insist on conducting a closed-door deposition first, allowing committee staff members to gather details and create a record for the investigation.
Last year, Hunter withdrew from a probation-only plea agreement due to concerns about potential legal consequences. House investigators are now examining claims made by IRS whistleblowers regarding the Justice Department’s alleged protection of Joe and Hunter Biden during a five-year probe into Hunter’s tax evasion and suspected influence-peddling.
Contrary to Joe Biden’s statements during the 2020 campaign, evidence continues to emerge suggesting his involvement in his family’s foreign connections.
Democrats, on the other hand, maintain that there is no evidence of corruption.
