Recently, Hunter Biden has declined to attend a public congressional hearing scheduled for next Wednesday regarding influence peddling. This decision comes after his initial desire for a public hearing and reluctance to engage with lawmakers behind closed doors. Hunter Biden, who is currently under scrutiny as part of House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into his father, President Biden, was requested to appear before the House Oversight Committee.
According to Abby Lowell, Hunter Biden's attorney, the reason for his absence is a scheduling conflict with one of his ongoing criminal cases. This development follows Hunter Biden's previous defiance of a subpoena for a closed-door deposition, which he later complied with on February 28th, sitting for a private interview with GOP investigators.
