Overview

  • House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) has released a contempt of Congress resolution for Hunter Biden, which if adopted, would allow House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to enforce the subpoena already delivered to Hunter Biden.
  • Hunter Biden has been accused of breaking federal law by skipping his Dec. 13 interview with the committee, which is a part of Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
  • Hunter Biden, in response, has insisted on a public hearing rather than a private deposition, claiming that Comer has used closed-door sessions to distort facts.
  • Republicans are investigating whether Joe Biden ever took official actions, influenced US policy or abused the public trust as a result of payments made to him or his family by foreign nationals.
  • Despite Hunter Biden's refusal to comply with the subpoena, House Republicans have begun interviewing other business associates affiliated with the Biden family.
