Hunter Biden defied a House Republican subpoena on Wednesday.
He held a press conference outside of the US Capitol instead.
Hunter Biden on Wednesday repeated his offer to appear at a public hearing on Capitol Hill, appearing to defy a House Republican-issued subpoena that called for him to testify instead at a closed-door deposition.
President Joe Biden’s son announced during brief remarks outside of the U.S. Capitol that he has chosen to testify at a public hearing to answer questions from House Republicans.
The subpoena, however, called for him to appear for a closed-door deposition Wednesday morning before the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees. Republicans have rejected Hunter Biden’s offer to appear for an initial public hearing, saying they want him to testify privately first. They have also threatened to hold him in contempt of Congress if he does not appear.
“I’m here today to make sure that the House committees’ illegitimate investigations of my family do not proceed on distortions, manipulated evidence and lies,” he told reporters in his statement.
Donald Trump took a jab at him over this.
Former President Trump jabbed at President Biden’s son Hunter Biden for skipping his closed-door congressional deposition on Wednesday.
Trump took a shot at the younger Biden during his Iowa speech Wednesday night, joking that the presidential scion “went to the wrong place” on Capitol Hill.
The former president joked that Hunter went to the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol when he should have gone to the House side.
“Did you see Hunter today, right?” Trump said. “He went to the wrong place. He went to the Senate instead of the House.”
“Everyone’s saying, ‘Where’s Hunter?’ See, it always gets, ‘Where’s Hunter?'” the former president continued. “What a two-tier system of justice we have.”
