In the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, House Republicans are refusing Hunter Biden’s request to testify publicly rather than undergo a private deposition. Representatives James Comer and Jim Jordan sent a letter stating that failure to comply with the subpoena may result in contempt of Congress charges for Biden. The investigation centers on claims that Joe Biden has profited from family members’ business dealings and accepted bribes, particularly related to Hunter Biden’s overseas work. The younger Biden has expressed a willingness to testify but insists on a public hearing, citing concerns about selective leaks. Republicans swiftly rejected this proposal, emphasizing the balance by first testifying privately, as other witnesses have done. Democrats criticize the Republican investigation as a political stunt, claiming it lacks substance and perpetuates debunked conspiracy theories.
