Hunter Biden is set to return to Capitol Hill for a second chance at a formal deposition, scheduled for tomorrow. During his previous appearance in December, Hunter Biden did not enter the hearing room but instead stood outside the Capitol building, asserting that Republicans were engaging in political maneuvers. House Republicans are seeking to question Hunter Biden about his business dealings and their potential connection to his father, President Biden, as part of the ongoing impeachment investigation.
One of the focal points of the inquiry involves allegations made by Alexander Smirnoff, a former FBI informant who was recently arrested for lying to the bureau. Smirnoff claimed that both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden received $5 million each in bribes from Ukrainians. While Democrats view the Smirnoff allegations as grounds to conclude the investigation, Republicans are expanding their probe to include potential Chinese connections, payments from Romania, and other aspects beyond Smirnoff's claims.
Tomorrow's closed-door deposition, where Hunter Biden will be under oath, is expected to delve into these various aspects of his business dealings and potential ties to foreign entities. The transcript of the deposition is slated to be released in the days following the session, providing further insight into the questioning and responses provided by Hunter Biden.
