House Republicans Plan to Hold Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress

The move comes after Biden defied a subpoena to appear for a closed-door deposition, instead offering to testify in a public hearing.

House Republicans on the Judiciary and Oversight committees plan to move forward with a resolution to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for defying their subpoena to appear for a closed-door deposition.
The committees will hold a meeting on January 10 to prepare a resolution recommending Hunter Biden be held in contempt of Congress for violating federal law.
The GOP-led committees argue they have 'significant evidence suggesting' President Biden 'knew of, participated in, and benefitted from his family cashing in on the Biden name.'
Hunter Biden has refused to appear for a closed-door deposition, instead offering to testify in a public hearing, arguing the probes should be an 'open process.'
If the House approves the resolution and refers Hunter Biden to the Department of Justice for contempt of Congress, he could face a maximum sentence of up to 12 months in jail and a fine as high as $100,000.
