It was political theater at Wednesday’s House Oversight and Accountability Committee with Hunter Biden making a surprise appearance. Republicans have highlighted Biden’s business deals in an effort to tarnish his father, who himself faces an impeachment inquiry. Democrats, meanwhile, have pointed out that Republican members ignored subpoenas from the January 6th Committee. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-NY) has suggested the panel hold a vote on hearing from Biden “right now,” asking for a show of hands from the room.
Hunter Biden has offered instead to testify in a public setting, and delivered a statement to the press outside the Capitol rather than attend the deposition, saying his father “was not financially involved in my business.”
