Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, agreed to testify in a public hearing before the House Oversight Committee.

“Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else,” Comer wrote in a statement.

“Our lawfully issued subpoena to Hunter Biden requires him to appear for a deposition on December 13.

We expect full cooperation with our subpoena for a deposition but also agree that Hunter Biden should have [the] opportunity to testify in a public setting at a future date,” Comer added.

In new letter to Comer, Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell offers to let Hunter testify in front of Oversight on any day in December in a public setting.

Hunter Biden has long been a focus of Republican efforts to dig up dirt on President Biden.

In September, Hunter Biden was charged with three counts related to possessing a firearm while under the influence of narcotics. »
