President Biden Refuses to Address Son’s Defiance of Subpoena
In a tense exchange with reporters on Wednesday, President Joe Biden smirked and evaded questions regarding his son, Hunter Biden, defying a congressional subpoena. The incident occurred after Hunter Biden skipped a closed-door deposition, potentially setting the stage for contempt of Congress proceedings threatened by House Republicans.
After delivering remarks at a National Infrastructure Advisory Council event, Biden abruptly asked reporters to leave. However, one persistent journalist shouted, “Mr. President, should your son have defied the subpoena?” Biden responded with a smirk and refused to provide an answer.

This latest incident involving President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, has once again brought the issue of accountability and transparency to the forefront. The refusal of the President to address his son’s defiance of a congressional subpoena raises questions about the integrity of the Biden administration and their commitment to upholding the rule of law.
It is important to note that this is not an isolated incident. Hunter Biden has faced numerous controversies and legal issues in recent years, from his involvement with foreign business dealings to his questionable financial transactions. These controversies have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest and the potential for influence peddling.
The congressional subpoena that Hunter Biden defied was issued as part of an investigation into his financial dealings and potential conflicts of interest. The fact that he chose to ignore this subpoena sends a clear message that he believes he is above the law and not accountable to the American people.
Furthermore, the President’s refusal to address this issue only adds fuel to the fire. Instead of providing a straightforward answer, President Biden chose to smirk and evade the questions. This behavior is not befitting of a leader who is supposed to be transparent and accountable to the public.
The potential consequences of Hunter Biden’s defiance of the subpoena are significant. Contempt of Congress proceedings could be initiated, which could result in penalties such as fines or even imprisonment. It is crucial that the Biden administration takes this matter seriously and holds Hunter Biden accountable for his actions.
The American people deserve to know the truth and to have confidence in their leaders. The refusal of President Biden to address his son’s defiance of a congressional subpoena only serves to erode that trust. It is imperative that the President and his administration take the necessary steps to ensure transparency and accountability moving forward.
In conclusion, President Biden’s refusal to address his son’s defiance of a congressional subpoena is deeply concerning. It raises questions about the integrity of the Biden administration and their commitment to upholding the rule of law. The American people deserve answers and transparency from their leaders. It is essential that this issue is addressed and that Hunter Biden is held accountable for his actions.
