In a letter addressed to Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Hunter Biden lawyer Abbe Lowell stated that if a subpoena is reissued, his client would sit for a deposition, stating, “now that there is a duly authorized impeachment inquiry, Mr. Biden will comply for a hearing or deposition.”
Hunter Biden did not attend a closed-door deposition on December 13, 2023, ignoring a congressional subpoena, resulting with a House panel approving a contempt resolution earlier this week.
Lowell disputed the contempt proceedings, and stated his client repeatedly offered to “answer all pertinent and relevant questions” during a public hearing. Comer claims Hunter Biden illegally ignored the congressional subpoena and is requesting “special treatment,” while Lowell claims the November 8 and 9, 2023 subpoenas are invalid as they were issued before an impeachment resolution by Congress.
