In a move that has left Democrats shaking in their boots, Republican House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) have initiated contempt of Congress proceedings against Hunter Biden. The president’s son made the grave mistake of failing to appear for a subpoenaed closed-door deposition on Wednesday. Big oof!
About time!
Contempt of Congress Proceedings Initiated Against Hunter Biden, Potential Imprisonment and Fine https://t.co/4b5xubz2lI

If convicted of contempt of Congress, Hunter Biden could face a hefty fine of up to $100,000 and even imprisonment. Talk about a serious case of “oops, I forgot to show up!”
Now, let’s not forget that depositions are a common practice used by congressional investigators, and Democrats have had their fair share of depositions during their investigations. Remember the whole Adam Schiff impeachment inquiry? Yeah, good times. But now that the tables have turned, it seems like the Democrats are suddenly oh-so-concerned about “standard, closed-door depositions.” Hypocrisy at its finest, folks.
But let’s give credit where credit is due. Comer and Jordan made it clear that they won’t be giving Hunter Biden any special treatment just because of his famous last name. As they pointed out, their committees were all set and ready to depose the man himself, but he decided to give a public statement on Capitol Hill instead. Smooth move, Hunter.
What’s interesting is that Hunter Biden claimed his dear old dad, Joe Biden, wasn’t financially involved in his family’s business dealings. But hold on a second there, Hunter. Comer and Jordan raised a valid question: “Exactly how was Joe Biden involved?” They claim there is evidence to show that Joe Biden met with Hunter’s business associates and played a central role in the family business strategy. The plot thickens!
So, what’s next? Well, the House will be voting on an impeachment inquiry resolution to strengthen their legal case in the courts. Can’t blame them for wanting to cover all their bases, especially when they’re facing obstruction from the White House and witnesses. And now, with Hunter Biden obstructing their investigation, the need for a formal vote has become even more apparent. Time to bring out the big guns, boys.
It’s worth mentioning that House investigators have been looking into the Biden family since November 2022, and their findings are quite revealing. Joe Biden allegedly received money from his brother James Biden and, of course, his dear old son Hunter. But wait, there’s more! It turns out that not only did Joe Biden benefit, but nine other Biden family members also received payments from the family’s foreign business ventures. Talk about a family affair!
If you want to dig deeper into the evidence against Joe Biden and his clan, you can find it right here. Brace yourself for some eye-opening revelations.
Well, folks, the plot thickens, and it seems like the Biden family has some serious explaining to do. Let’s see how this all unfolds, shall we? Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling saga.
