President Joe Biden’s son made a surprise appearance Wednesday at a House Oversight Committee hearing where Republicans approved a resolution holding him in contempt of Congress.
Hunter Biden’s arrival served as a reminder that he has offered to testify in response to Republicans’ subpoena for his testimony ― but only in public.
Republicans have insisted he speak in a private deposition and are holding him in contemptbecause of his refusal. If approved by the full House, the contempt resolution would result in a request for the Justice Department to press charges.
