House Judiciary Committee Approves Resolution to Hold Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress

James Comer: House Judiciary Committee Approves Resolution to Hold Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday approved a resolution to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress.

The Committee voted along party line 23-14 to approve the resolution after Hunter Biden defied a subpoena and refused to testify in a closed-door deposition.

The full House of Representatives will then vote on the resolution to hold Hunter in contempt.

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

Hunter Biden last month said he would only testify “at a public hearing.”

Hunter made a shock appearance on Capitol Hill as lawmakers convened a hearing in advance of the vote to hold the first son in contempt. Hunter arrogantly walked into the hearing and stared down lawmakers.
