Hunter Biden scheduled for congressional deposition in February
House Republicans to Question Hunter Biden in Closed-Door Deposition
House Republicans have announced their plans to question Hunter Biden in a closed-door deposition on Feb. 28, following months of negotiations. This date has been eagerly anticipated as it marks the opportunity for the GOP’s star impeachment witness to testify.
The House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer (R-KY), and Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jim Jordan (R-OH), released a joint statement on Thursday, revealing their intention to conduct the interview of President Joe Biden’s son.
Anticipated Testimony
“His deposition will come after several interviews with Biden family members and associates. We look forward to Hunter Biden’s testimony,” the chairmen expressed.
Additionally, they mentioned their upcoming plans to interview Biden family business associates Mervyn Yan and Rob Walker next week, followed by Eric Schwerin the following week.
Previous Subpoena and Response
It is worth noting that settling on a date to question Hunter Biden comes after Comer and Jordan initially subpoenaed him in November.
At the time, Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, responded by stating that Biden was only willing to testify publicly. Lowell referred to Comer’s previous offers of a public testimony and accused Republicans of using a closed-door interview setting to selectively leak information to the media, with the intention of misleading the public.
