The ongoing drama between Hunter Biden and the Republican committee chairmen has been heating up in recent weeks. The first son had offered to testify in an open-door hearing, but the Republican committee chairmen quickly shut that down. They reminded Hunter Biden that he is expected to appear for a closed-door testimony, as he was subpoenaed on November 8. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan have now sent another letter to Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, threatening contempt of Congress proceedings if Hunter Biden does not comply with appearing for a closed-door deposition on December 13.

The Republican chairmen are not messing around. They made it clear that there is no “choice” for Hunter Biden to make, as the subpoenas compel him to appear for a deposition on the specified date. If he fails to appear, they will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. The chairmen also reference a letter from Lowell where he repeated the request for an open-door hearing. But the Republicans are not buying it. They believe that closed-door sessions ensure transparency and truth, as they claim that open-door hearings are often used to manipulate and distort facts.
It’s no surprise that Hunter Biden’s camp is pushing for a public hearing. They want to control the narrative and avoid any uncomfortable questions. But the Republican chairmen are not playing games. They have posted the letter and engaged in a back-and-forth with House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, who scoffed at the threat of holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress. The chairmen are sending a clear message that they will not tolerate any attempts to evade their subpoenas.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has also been getting defensive when questioned about his interactions with his son’s business associates. He called the allegations a “bunch of lies” and refused to comment further. It’s clear that there is a lot at stake here, and the Republicans are determined to get to the truth. They are not afraid to use their power to hold Hunter Biden accountable and ensure that the American public knows the full story.
It’s about time someone held Hunter Biden accountable for his questionable actions. It’s clear that he and his father have something to hide, which is why they’re so desperate to avoid a closed-door testimony. The American people deserve to know the truth about the Biden family’s shady dealings. The Republican chairmen are doing the right thing by threatening contempt of Congress proceedings. They must stand firm and not allow Hunter Biden to get away with evading justice.
