Hunter Biden To Testify For GOP Committee!

Hunter Biden is done with the bull. He will testify before the GOP circus of idiocy.

Robert Hunter Biden is the youngest surviving son of Joe Biden, the current 46th President of the United States.

He is a private citizen who is the focus of a Republican committee and impeachment inquiry into whether Biden, then as vice president took bribes from foreign governments.

Hunter has offered to testify before a GOP-controlled congressional probe — provided they meet a major pre-condition.

Amid reports of a more aggressive strategy for the embattled younger Biden, attorney Abbe Lowell has sent a letter to the GOP-led House Oversight Committee, whose chairman is Rep. James Comer (R-KY).

In the letter, Lowell wrote that Hunter “will get right to it by agreeing to answer any pertinent and relevant question you or your colleagues might have, but — rather than subscribing to your cloaked, one-sided process — he will appear at a public Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing.”

Hunter wants a public hearing and wants it to be seen by the junk food media. He said that he is going to defend himself and his family from the smears.

The committee had sought a closed-door deposition Dec. 13, but Lowell wrote that it did not trust Comer and Republicans to provide a truthful account of such an event.

“We have seen you use closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public. We therefore propose opening the door,” Lowell wrote in a letter to Comer on Tuesday. “If, as you claim, your efforts are important and involve issues that Americans should know about, then let the light shine on these proceedings.”

Lowell noted that Comer has previously said that Hunter Biden is “more than welcome” before the committee.

“Accordingly, our client will get right to it by agreeing to answer any pertinent and relevant question you or your colleagues might have, but— rather than subscribing to your cloaked, one-sided process—he will appear at a public Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing,” Lowell said.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) keeps this farce going. Even with Hunter Biden testifying, the GOP will continue to harp on Biden scandals.

The committee on Tuesday said it expects Hunter Biden to appear for a closed-door deposition in addition to any public setting.

“Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. That won’t stand with House Republicans,” Comer said in a statement. “Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13. We expect full cooperation with our subpoena for a deposition but also agree that Hunter Biden should have opportunity to testify in a public setting at a future date.”

In addition to Hunter Biden, Oversight subpoenaed a swath of other Biden family members earlier in November, including the president’s brother, James Biden; Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Cohen; and Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau Biden.

Hunter Biden’s legal counsel has torn into the Oversight Committee’s investigation, writing that Comer’s probe is “turning up only dry holes.”

“A public proceeding would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements,” Lowell said in the letter.

“Your empty investigation has gone on too long wasting too many better-used resources. It should come to an end. Consequently, Mr. Biden will appear at such a public hearing on the date you noticed, December 13, or any date in December that we can arrange,” Lowell continued. “From all the individuals you have requested depositions or interviews, all you will learn is that your accusations are baseless. However, the American people should see that for themselves.”
