Two House committees on Wednesday recommended holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for flouting subpoenas last month when he didn’t appear for a closed-door deposition.
In party-line votes, the House Oversight and Accountability and House Judiciary committees each approved reports outlining the contempt of Congress case against the president’s son, saying his refusal to comply with the subpoenas was a “criminal act.” The reports also say the matter should be referred to a U.S. attorney’s office for prosecution.
The Oversight panel approved its report in a 25-21 vote, while the Judiciary committee approved its in a 23-14 vote.
