Today is the day…
Hunter Biden is testifying before the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday and with his opening statement the embattled First Son sets a defiant tone.
“For more than a year, your committees have hunted me in your partisan political pursuit of my dad,” the younger Biden said, according to prepared testimony released to reporters as he entered the hearing.
“You have trafficked in innuendo, distortion, and sensationalism – all the while ignoring the clear and convincing evidence staring you in the face. You do not have evidence to support the baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn’t any,” Hunter Biden said, referring to the “Make America Great Again” slogan of his father’s leading November election opponent, Donald Trump.
