Hunter Biden Agrees to Testify Publicly Before House Oversight Committee in Impeachment Inquiry

Hunter Biden, the son of President Biden, has agreed to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee on December 13th as part of its impeachment inquiry into the president. This was confirmed by a letter from Hunter Biden’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell, to the committee’s chairman, James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky.

Lowell stated that Hunter Biden will answer “any pertinent and relevant questions” lawmakers might have, but said his questioning must take place at a public committee hearing. He also argued that a public proceeding would prevent selective leaks, manipulated transcripts, doctored exhibits, or one-sided press statements.

The president’s son was subpoenaed by House Republicans in early November and summoned to appear for a closed-door transcribed interview as part of an escalation of Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into the president. In his letter, Lowell rebuked Republicans for their use of closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public.

The House Oversight Committee has yet to respond to Hunter Biden’s offer to testify publicly. If accepted, the hearing will be the first time Hunter Biden has spoken publicly about the impeachment inquiry and the allegations against his father. It is expected to be closely watched by both sides of the political aisle.
