Hunter Biden defies lawful subpoena, faces Contempt of Congress proceedings

Hunter Biden defied a congressional subpoena and now faces the consequences of being held in contempt. MTG spoke briefly about Hunter Biden's situation (video above) and said: "I look forward to following the process for contempt of Congress, which absolutely should be done. Hunter Biden refusing to show up today is unacceptable… Hunter Biden is clearly trying to hide and cover up the money laundering and the abuse of power that he and his father are guilty of."

James Comer announced in a joint statement with Jim Jordan that Hunter Biden could be in some big trouble. The Republicans say Hunter Biden defied the subpoena and will proceed with contempt of Congress proceedings. Trending Politics further reported on Comer's statement:

“Hunter Biden today defied lawful subpoenas and we will now initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. We will not provide special treatment because his last name is Biden. As our committees were today prepared to depose Hunter Biden, he chose to make a public statement on Capitol Hill instead,” the Republican leaders wrote.

“Today, the House will vote on an impeachment inquiry resolution to strengthen our legal case in the courts as we face obstruction from the White House and witnesses. Today’s obstruction by Hunter Biden reinforces the need for a formal vote. President Biden and his family must be held accountable for their corruption and obstruction.”
