Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Howell wrote a fiery letter to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday afternoon explaining that his client would not be attending next week’s public hearing scheduled for the embattled First Son and his former business associates.
Lowell called the proceedings a “carnival sideshow.”
Now, House Oversight Chair James Comer has dropped a statement of his own.
Comer’s full statement below:
“The House Oversight Committee has called Hunter Biden’s bluff. Hunter Biden for months stated he wanted a public hearing, but now that one has been offered alongside his business associates that he worked with for years, he is refusing to come. During our deposition and interview phase of our investigation, Hunter Biden confirmed key evidence, including evidence that his father, President Joe Biden, lied to the American people about his family’s business dealings and in fact attended meetings, spoke on speakerphone, and had coffee with his foreign business associates who collectively funneled millions to the Bidens. However, parts of Hunter Biden’s testimony contradict the testimonies of Devon Archer, Jason Galanis, and Tony Bobulinski. Next week’s hearing with Hunter Biden and his associates is moving forward and we fully expect Hunter Biden to participate. The American people demand the truth and accountability for the Bidens’ corruption.”
