Now you see him, now you don’t…
Embattled First Son Hunter Biden appeared outside the Capitol on Wednesday to speak to reporters about his “innocence.” Biden opted to skip the transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee under the threat of being held in contempt.
“For six years, I’ve been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting, ‘Where’s Hunter?’ Well, here’s my answer, ‘I am here,’” said the younger Biden, 53.
“Let me state as clearly as I can: my father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist.”
Biden was supposed to speak to the Oversight Committee for a closed-door deposition.
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) said Oversight “issued a lawful subpoena to the president’s son” and that “we expect to depose the president’s son and then we will be more than happy to have a public hearing with him.”
“The president hasn’t been honest about his associations with these people who have been wiring millions and millions of dollars to Hunter Biden and the Biden family,” he said.
