Hunter Biden appeared for a last-minute press conference on Wednesday morning, much to the surprise of House Republicans who met in a hearing room across Capitol Hill at the same time awaiting a scheduled deposition with the president’s son.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Biden to appear before the committee for a private deposition on Wednesday, a request he repeatedly denied to push for a public hearing instead. When Republicans refused to do so until a private meeting was held, Biden staged public remarks of his own — appearing outside the Capitol to respond to the committee’s allegations just 10 minutes after his deposition was scheduled.
In the days leading up to Wednesday, the first son’s legal team repeatedly denied that Biden would travel to Washington, D.C., for the deposition. Biden’s appearance came as a surprise to several Republican lawmakers, who were kept in the dark on whether he would appear at all.
Biden’s surprise press conference was added to the Capitol’s event schedule but was listed as being organized by Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) without any mention of the president’s son's appearance. Swalwell appeared alongside Biden as he gave his remarks, and the two were also flanked by entertainment lawyer Kevin Morris, who lent Biden money to pay off his debts.
The committee subpoenaed Hunter Biden as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, claiming the president’s son is a key witness who can provide information on whether the elder Biden abused his power during his time as vice president. Hunter Biden said he would testify publicly before the committee, but Oversight Republicans said they wanted to meet with him in private first, a demand that has prompted backlash from Democrats.

God save us from these monstrous horrible skunks! If only the Repubs had the guts to kick Swalwell off of all committees --- Oh! Wait! Better to expel a Republican member!
This is *all* about November 2024 and it’s being directed entirely by Rat Party Headquarters.It’s a given that Hunter has no worries...everyone,including Hunter, knows that at some point he’ll get a full,unconditional,Presidential pardon.
They should have done that.
Capitol Police should have escorted (frogmarched) him to the chambers.
“Oversight Republicans said they wanted to meet with him in private first, a demand that has prompted backlash from Democrats.”
Why?
That’s the way dems always did it.
GOP are scardycats
Wouldn’t this be considered obstruction of an official proceeding?
These Fascists are just flaunting their corruption at this point.
