House Republicans plan to move forward next week with holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress after the president’s son defied a congressional subpoena to appear for a private deposition last month.
The Republicans who lead the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Judiciary Committee announced Friday that they will hold votes on contempt charges against Hunter Biden as the GOP moves into the final stages of its impeachment inquiry. If the committees approve the charges, the full House would get a final vote.
“Hunter Biden’s willful refusal to comply with our subpoenas constitutes contempt of Congress and warrants referral to the appropriate United States Attorney’s Office for prosecution,” said Reps. James Comer, R-Ky., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, in a joint statement. “We will not provide him with special treatment because of his last name.”
Hunter Biden and his lawyers have repeatedly slammed the GOP-issued subpoena for the closed-door testimony, arguing that information from those interviews can be selectively leaked and manipulated. Hunter Biden has insisted that he would only testify in public.
“How dare you offer to answer our questions in public!!!”
It blows my mind that Gym Jordan would make this accusation. Well, blows my mind that morons actually vote for that POS hypocrite in the first place.
It’s just amazing they don’t feel ashamed or embarrassed for the blatant hypocrisy and BS. They are truly detached from any requirements for ethical or consistent behavior.
They vote for him because a piece of shit hypocritical pedophile aligns with all of their values.
They’re in their rights to do this.
And AG Garland is within his rights to ignore it just like he did for the reps who ignored the J6 committee subpoenas.
Bet he doesn’t this time.
Any judge worth a shit will laugh this out of court because Hunter offered to testify publicly. The only remedy the GOP is offering is something he’s already willing to do.
I agree with the sentiment, but from a legal standpoint individuals who are subpoenaed don’t get to set the terms. The GOP is is hypocritical as shit and it’s ridiculous they’re doing this sham investigation to begin with AND they should have accepted Hunters counter to testify publicly. But, a subpoena is still a subpoena.
“We will not provide him with special treatment because of his last name.”
But they are providing him special treatment because of his name, that’s the sole reason they’re targeting him.
hunter: oh ok… anyway im going fishing
