Hunter Biden Negotiates Testimony Date, Pausing Contempt Proceedings

New subpoenas to be issued as House committees and Biden's legal team work to schedule his appearance.

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, is in negotiations with the House Judiciary and Oversight committees to schedule a date for his testimony, leading to a pause in the effort to hold him in contempt of Congress.
Hunter Biden's legal team had previously argued that the subpoenas issued for his testimony were 'legally invalid' as they were issued before the House's vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan have stated they would issue new subpoenas and are willing to hold off on a potential vote to hold Biden in contempt of Congress if he cooperates.
