The Republicans announced this Wednesday their intention to denounce Joe Biden’s son for contempt of Congress, Hunter Bidenwho was summoned to testify behind closed doors and did not comply with that summons.

The president of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee, James Comer, highlighted in a statement that the son of the American president You won’t get special treatment just because of your last name.. Hunter Biden refused to testify behind closed doors and instead went to Congress in the morning to deliver a public message to the press.

“Let me say it as clearly as possible; My father was not financially involved in my business.… I am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the Committee’s legitimate questions,” he said outside the Capitol.

Hunter Biden is being investigated by the Republican majority of the House of Representatives within the framework of the investigations opened against his father for alleged irregularitiesas influence peddling to benefit family members in business when he was Barack Obama’s vice president (2009-2017).

“Evidence shows that Joe Biden met with business associates of Hunter and His name is at the center of the family’s business strategy“said Comer, recalling that statements in Congress are a normal procedure.
