House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) expressed their disappointment and frustration after Hunter Biden failed to appear for his deposition. In a joint statement, they stated, "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."
The congressmen further emphasized that they were prepared to depose Hunter Biden, but instead of cooperating, he chose to make a public statement on Capitol Hill. During his statement, Hunter Biden claimed that his father, Joe Biden, was not financially involved in his family's business dealings. However, Comer and Jordan questioned this assertion, stating, "Evidence shows Joe Biden met with Hunter's business associates and his name was at the center of the family business strategy."
In response to Hunter Biden's failure to appear for the deposition, the House will now vote on an impeachment inquiry resolution to strengthen their legal case. Comer and Jordan believe that this obstruction by Hunter Biden reinforces the need for a formal vote. They firmly believe that President Biden and his family must be held accountable for their alleged corruption and obstruction.
It is worth noting that a deposition is a standard investigative procedure used by attorneys and congressional investigators. Democrats have also utilized depositions in their investigations, including the Adam Schiff impeachment inquiry. Even Jamie Raskin, a prominent Democrat, has emphasized the importance of depositions in the past.
The failure of Hunter Biden to appear for his deposition has brought further attention to the ongoing Biden family investigation. This investigation aims to shed light on the alleged influence peddling and questionable business dealings of the Biden family. The Bidens' influence peddling timeline has become a subject of interest as investigators seek to uncover any potential wrongdoing.
As the House prepares to vote on the impeachment inquiry resolution and continues with its investigations, the American people eagerly await further developments in this matter. The outcome of these proceedings could have significant implications for both the Biden family and the political landscape as a whole.
