Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has extended an invitation to Hunter Biden, along with his business associates Tony Bobulinski and Devin Archer, to appear at a public hearing. This move comes after Hunter and his team had been advocating for a public hearing for months, initially insisting on it as the only acceptable format. However, following Hunter's deposition, his lawyer indicated that there might not be much more to add, stating that 'there's nothing left to say.' Despite this, Comer remains hopeful that Hunter will participate in the public hearing to address lingering questions.
During Hunter's deposition, the Republicans and Democrats each had an hour to question him under oath. Comer expressed satisfaction with the Republicans' line of questioning, focusing on specific transactions involving Hunter's business dealings. However, he noted discrepancies between Hunter's responses and those of his associates, particularly concerning Joe Biden's involvement. To reconcile these inconsistencies, Comer plans to bring all parties together for a transparent public hearing.
Regarding potential criminal referrals, Comer affirmed his readiness to hold individuals accountable for any wrongdoing uncovered during the investigation. He emphasized the importance of upholding justice and preventing a two-tier system in the country. Comer also scrutinized Hunter's claim of being impaired while sending a message, pointing out the suspicious nature of his selective memory during the deposition.
Comer highlighted evidence suggesting that Hunter was at Joe Biden's house on the day in question, although confirmation of Joe's presence remains pending. The investigation aims to shed light on the truth and ensure accountability for any illicit activities uncovered. Comer's commitment to transparency and justice underscores the gravity of the ongoing inquiry into the Biden family's business dealings.
