BREAKING: Republicans to Initiate Contempt of Congress Proceedings After Hunter Biden Defies Subpoena

Hunter Biden on Wednesday arrived in DC and gave a press conference on Capitol Hill where he revealed he will only answer questions under his own rules despite a congressional subpoena.

Congressional Republicans subpoenaed Hunter Biden for a closed-door deposition related to his influence-peddling and family corruption.

Hunter Biden on Wednesday said he will only testify “at a public hearing.”

“My father was not financially involved in my business,” Hunter Biden said in the presser.

Hunter tacitly admitted that his father Joe Biden was involved in his overseas businesses in other ways.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Wednesday announced GOP lawmakers will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings after Hunter Biden brazenly defied a lawful subpoena.

“Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” Comer said.

“We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden,” Comer added.

“Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden. As 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’s business dealings. Exactly how was Joe Biden involved? Evidence shows Joe Biden met with Hunter Biden’s business associates and his name was at the center of the family business strategy,” a joint statement by House Oversight Chairman and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said.

We can count on Ken Buck of Colorado to vote with the Rats. How many other RINOs will vote with the Rats or be out of town when the vote comes to the floor?

The Speaker of the House should have the Sergeant at Arms standing by.
Hunter should be arrested if he doesn’t show up. That’s how this stuff is supposed to work.
I want a perp walk with handcuffs.

I bet that will only take another 3 years. Repubs want to make sure they follow the law. Dems just follow their hate.

Maybe you need to ask nicer to accommodate him. After all, he is a dem and the repubs are always the trouble makers. S/O

The vote will indicate which representatives have respect for the law.

The GOP should link to that comment when it has the SOA arrest Hunter Biden, and proceeds to prosecute him for contempt of Congress.

The subpoena should have said, “Hookers and cocaine will be provided.” Hunter would have camped out on the steps the Capitol waiting to get in.
