House Oversight Committee Chairman Representative James Comer (R-Ky.) announced yesterday that Hunter Biden will appear for a closed-door deposition on February 28 in regard to the impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.
The announcement comes after Hunter failed to appear for a closed-door deposition on December 13, 2023, and house Republicans moved forward with holding Hunter in contempt of Congress after the subpoena was ignored.
Facing multiple criminal charges for illegally possessing a firearm and tax fraud, Hunter could avoid the contempt of Congress proceedings now that he is cooperating with the Oversight Committee, with a spokesperson saying, “Negotiations are ongoing this afternoon, and in conjunction with the disruption to member travel and canceling votes, the House rules committee isn’t considering the contempt resolution today to give the attorneys additional time to reach an agreement.”
