House Republicans will move forward to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress

House Republicans will move forward to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify in front of lawmakers about his business dealings. 

“Hunter Biden has already defied two valid, lawful subpoenas,” a joint statement from Republican Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan stated. “For now, the House of Representatives will move forward with holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress until such time that Hunter Biden confirms a date to appear for a private deposition in accordance with his legal obligation.”
