An attorney for Hunter Biden told a House panel Tuesday that the president’s son is willing to testify at a public hearing, setting up a clash with Republicans who demand he also sit for a closed-door deposition.
House Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden earlier this month and instructed him to appear for a deposition on Dec. 13 as part of an investigation into GOP allegations that the younger Biden was involved in a web tying the Biden family to foreign money.
In a letter, Hunter’s attorney Abbe David Lowell argued that House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James R. Comer, R-Ky., has used closed-door sessions “to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public.”
