House Republicans said they would start contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter Biden after he did not appear Wednesday morning for a closed-door deposition, with the president’s son coming to Capitol Hill to instead challenge the lawmakers to hold a public hearing.
Instead of complying with a subpoena, Biden spoke to reporters outside the Senate side of the Capitol building and attacked Republicans for their attacks on his character. He walked away immediately after speaking and did not answer shouted questions from the press.
“Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry or hear what I have to say. What are they afraid of? I’m here. I’m ready,” the younger Biden said.
