Hunter Biden's Public Hearing Request Causes GOP Divisions

Some GOP Members Support Public Testimony, While Others Criticize the Move

Hunter Biden has offered to testify publicly in an open hearing, causing divisions within the GOP.
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) criticized the request, stating that Hunter Biden should follow the rules required of everyone else.
Some GOP members, including Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), support the idea of public testimony from Biden.
House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.) initially welcomed Biden's move to testify but later criticized it, stating that Biden does not get to dictate how Congress conducts its oversight role.
The GOP's investigation into President Biden and his family, led by Comer, has been criticized for not unearthing anything implicating Biden in a significant way.
