House Panel Advances Hunter Biden Contempt Charge

January 10, 2024 Republicans, Trump cultists

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday voted to formally recommend the full House hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena in the Republican impeachment inquiry into his father. The GOP-led committee voted along party lines, 23 to 14, in favor of advancing the contempt resolution. The vote comes hours after the president’s son arrived on Capitol Hill to attend in person congressional committee meetings on the matter.

The president’s son, facing two separate criminal indictments, has said he would testify publicly, an offer Republicans have refused, continuing to insist that the interview be held privately. During the Oversight Committee’s markup Wednesday morning, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., called for Biden’s arrest on the spot for defying the congressional subpoena. “Hunter Biden, you are too afraid for a deposition, and I still think you are today,” she said.

During the January 6th investigation, @Jim_Jordan proudly defied a subpoena.

Now he wants to hold Hunter Biden in contempt.

Even though Hunter was willing to testify publicly.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz Is absolutely right in calling out MAGA Republicans for their hypocrisy on subpoenas:

“The Republican chairs today, then, are commandeering an unprecedented resolution to hold someone in contempt who has offered to publicly answer all their proper questions.”
