Hunter Biden – “They have ridiculed my struggle with addiction. They’ve belittled my recovery. And they’ve tried to dehumanize me!
House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer sparred with a reporter inside the Capitol on Wednesday after Hunter Biden refused to show up for a closed-door deposition.
The younger Biden arrived outside of the U.S. Capitol for a short press conference Wednesday morning where he criticized his political opponents over the impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden. He told reporters he would testify publicly rather than in a closed deposition, despite receiving a congressional subpoena.
Comer said the American public has a right to know about the estimated $24 million paid to the Biden family and its associates from Ukraine, Romania and China.
“But Chairman Comer, do you acknowledge that you haven’t answered that question and that you’ve found no evidence of wrongdoing or criminal conduct?” Washington Post congressional investigations reporter Jacqueline Alemany asked Comer in response.
“We’ve found some very serious evidence that—” Comer began to answer.
“But Joe Biden—” the reporter interrupted.
