BREAKING: James Comer Unveils Resolution to Hold Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has released a resolution referring Hunter Biden to the Justice Department to face charges for contempt of Congress.
For weeks, House Republicans have hinted they would move to hold President Joe Biden’s son in contempt over his refusal to comply with the Oversight Committee’s subpoena — which called for Hunter to face questions about his foreign business dealings. These calls became especially pronounced when Hunter held his news conference in front of the U.S. Capitol last month, slamming the committee for refusing to take his testimony in a public hearing rather than a closed-door deposition.

Critics of the Biden family have used Hunter’s troubled conduct in the past to accuse the president of being involved in an influence-peddling scheme, and the resolution comes as the GOP moves into the final stages of launching an impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
