In a startling turn of events at the House Oversight Committee, not only did Hunter Biden show up for the hearing to consider holding him in contempt of Congress, but he also caused quite a commotion with his audacious display. The president’s son had previously refused to obey a subpoena to testify, opting instead for a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol, throwing a wrench in the works for the Biden administration.
The committee members, including the outspoken Marjorie Taylor Greene, were quick to condemn Hunter’s actions, asserting that he blatantly disregarded the rule of law by blatantly flouting the subpoena. Representative Greene emphasized that Hunter’s brazen disregard for the law was unacceptable, and she vowed to hold him accountable.
