House Republicans on Tuesday halted plans to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress, with the head of the House Rules Committee saying conversations between lawmakers and attorneys for the president’s son were ongoing.
The panel was scheduled Tuesday to tee up for floor action two measures that recommended the House hold the president’s son in contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas last month, when he failed to appear for a closed-door deposition.
But House Rules Chairman Tom Cole, R-Okla., on Tuesday said the panel would not be taking testimony on the reports, one from the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and another from the House Judiciary Committee.
