January 1, Hunter Biden Set to Testify in Capitol Hill

The stage is set for Hunter Biden to take the spotlight on Capitol Hill, as House Republicans are offering him the opportunity to testify publicly, a proposition he had previously expressed interest in. This information comes to us from the Daily Caller.

The invitation was extended by Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer to Hunter Biden on Wednesday. He is expected to testify alongside his former business associates Devon Archer, Tony Bobulinski, and Jason Galanis. The hearing, aptly titled “Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office,” is slated for March 20th. The primary focus of the hearing will be to scrutinize President Biden’s potential involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings.

“Given his repeated calls for a public hearing, we fully expect him to appear for a scheduled hearing on [March 20th] alongside his former business associates,” a source familiar with the matter told the Daily Caller.

In November, the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to the first son in an attempt to have him attend a closed-door deposition regarding his foreign business dealings. However, Hunter Biden opted to hold a press conference outside the Capitol on Dec. 13, the day of the scheduled closed-door deposition. During this press conference, he vehemently denied that his father had any involvement in his business dealings and expressed his willingness to testify publicly, an offer his lawyer had previously suggested to the committee.

Hunter Biden also took the opportunity to criticize Republicans for initiating an impeachment inquiry against his father, President Joe Biden. He later agreed to testify behind closed doors on Feb. 28.

“Evidence obtained in the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry reveals Joe Biden knew about, participated in, and benefited from his family cashing in on the Biden name. Multiple witnesses have testified Joe Biden allowed his family to sell him as ‘the brand’ around the world to enrich the Biden family,” Comer said in a press release obtained by the Daily Caller.

“Joe Biden met with nearly all of his son’s foreign business associates; attended dinners with foreign oligarchs who collectively funneled his son millions of dollars; spoke on speakerphone with his son’s foreign associates, telling those who did business with his son to be ‘good to my boy;’ and had coffee with his son’s Chinese business associate. The Bidens’ pay-to-play scheme is corrupt and Americans demand accountability,” Comer continued.

During his Feb. 28 testimony, Hunter Biden claimed that he “did not recall” details of his foreign business dealings and meetings at least 29 times. However, he was adamant that his father was not involved in any of his foreign business ventures.

“I am here today to provide the committees with the one uncontestable fact that should end the false premise of this inquiry: I did not involve my father in my business, not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions, domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist, never,” Hunter Biden said in his opening remarks.

Why It Matters (op-ed)

The long-awaited public hearing for Hunter Biden is finally here, and it’s about time. This is the chance for Americans to hear the truth about the Biden family’s alleged corruption and influence peddling.

House Republicans are giving Hunter the opportunity he claimed he wanted, and his testimony will shine a light on the potential involvement of President Biden in his son’s foreign business dealings. The American people deserve transparency and accountability from their leaders, and this hearing is a crucial step in that direction.

Let’s hope Hunter doesn’t conveniently “forget” important details like he did in his previous closed-door testimony. The nation is watching, and we demand answers.
