Hunter Biden stated that he is exempt from participating in a deposition<\/a>, citing the \u2018illegitimacy\u2019 of the House committee that issued the subpoena. Hunter Biden believes he is above the law.<\/p>\n

During a press conference, Hunter said he welcomed questions from the House Oversight Committee regarding their investigations into his criminal family. But there\u2019s a catch: Hunter insists he will NOT testify behind closed doors for his deposition as required by the House Oversight Subpoena.\u00a0Instead, he said he would only welcome inquiries in public.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here\u2026to ensure that the House committee\u2019s illegitimate investigations of my family do not proceed on distortions, manipulated evidence, & lies\u2026I have made mistakes in my life and wasted the opportunities and privileges I was afforded\u2026I am making amends,\u201d Hunter Biden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames Comer, Jim Jordan, Jason Smith, and their colleagues have distorted the facts by cherry-picking lines from a bank statement, manipulating texts I sent, editing the testimony of my friends & former business partners, & misstating personal information that was stolen from me. There is no fairness or decency in what these Republicans are doing. They have lied over and over about every aspect of my personal and professional life, so much so that their lies have become the false facts believed by too many people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the Oversight Committee will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHunter Biden defied a lawful subpoena today, and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. There will be no special treatment because his last name is Biden. Joe Biden & his family must be held accountable for their corruption,\u201d House Committee on Oversight and Accountability wrote on X.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Oversight Committee (@GOPoversight) December 13, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs our committees were today prepared to depose Hunter Biden, he chose to make a public statement on Capitol Hill instead where he said his father, Joe Biden was not financially involved in his family\u2019s business dealings. Exactly how was Joe Biden involved? Evidence shows Joe Biden met with Hunter\u2019s business associates and his name was at the center of the family business strategy,\u201d Rep. James Coomer said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the House will vote on an impeachment inquiry resolution to strengthen our legal case in the courts as we face obstruction from the White House and witnesses. Today\u2019s obstruction by Hunter Biden reinforces the need for a formal vote. President Biden and his family must be held accountable for their corruption and obstruction. And we will provide that to the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

According to Stephen Miller, if the DOJ declines to prosecute, the House should impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland.<\/p>\n

The House must refer Hunter Biden to DOJ immediately for criminal contempt of Congress. If DOJ declines to prosecute, impeach Garland. https:\/\/t.co\/hW6KsGa1C3<\/a><\/p>\n

It can be recalled that Steve Bannon<\/a> and Peter Navarro<\/a> were charged and convicted of contempt when they refused to submit to a Congressional subpoena for testimony from the politically motivated, sham January 6th Committee.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump Jr. cooperated with Congress\u2019 request for a deposition, providing testimony in a private session for over 40 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cHunter Biden just refused to show up for his congressional testimony. I\u2019m looking forward to the same amount of outrage from the media as they\u2019d have if I blew off any of my 5 congressional subpoenas\u2026 but since they\u2019re covering for Joe Biden & his corruption I won\u2019t hold my breath,\u201d Donald Trump Jr. wrote.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a video of Joe Biden telling the reporter that the DOJ must prosecute anyone who defies a Congressional subpoena.<\/p>\n

Reporter: \u201cMr. President, what\u2019s your message to people who defy Congressional subpoenas\u2026Should they be prosecuted by the Justice Department?\u201d<\/p>\n

BIDEN: \u201cYes<\/p>\n

Will @POTUS<\/a> instruct the DOJ to prosecute Hunter if he defies a Congressional subpoena?<\/p>\n
