“On December 13, 2023, Robert Hunter Biden failed to comply with deposition subpoenas issued by the Committees on Oversight and Accountability and the Judiciary for testimony relevant to the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry and the Committees’ oversight investigations. Instead, Mr Biden opted to read a short, prepared statement in front of the Capitol.”
“Accordingly, Mr Biden has violated federal law, and must be held in contempt of Congress. Mr Biden’s testimony is a critical component of the impeachment inquiry into, among other things, whether Joseph R Biden, Jr, as Vice President and/or President: (1) took any official action or effected any change in government policy because of money or other things of value provided to himself or his family; (2) abused his office of public trust by providing foreign interests with access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or him; or (3) abused his office of public trust by knowingly participating in a scheme to enrich himself or his family by giving foreign interests the impression that they would receive access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or him,” says the intro to House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer’s resolution for Hunter Biden to be held in contempt for skipping their deposition, expected to come up for a vote this week.
Before you say it’s up to Merrick Garland on whether or not to actually prosecute Hunter for contempt, keep in mind that Special Counsel David Weiss is still on the job, and he might have dibs on whether or not to hit Hunter with the contempt charge on top of the other indictments.
