According to a report from The New York Post, Hunter and his lawyers are ready to play nice with the House Oversight Committee; Hunter will sit for a deposition.
From The New York Post:
Hunter, 53, waved a white flag in a letter to Congress from his attorney Abbe Lowell.
“If you issue a new proper subpoena, now that there is a duly authorized impeachment inquiry, Mr. Biden will comply for a hearing or deposition. We will accept such a subpoena on Mr. Biden’s behalf,” Lowell wrote.
The House Judiciary and Oversight committees voted separately Wednesday to hold Hunter in contempt — after the first son crashed the Oversight hearing, infuriating Republicans after he ducked his scheduled Dec. 13 interview.
Contempt of Congress is punishable by a minimum of 30 days behind bars, though a decision to prosecute would be made by President Biden’s Justice Department appointees if the full House clears the sanction.
