Hunter Biden goes on the offense against GOP tormentors

Hunter Biden fired the latest salvo in his counteroffensive against Republican critics Tuesday — and Democrats mostly cheered him on, even as some acknowledge risks in his approach.
President Biden’s son offered to testify before the House Oversight Committee, which has been aggressively investigating his past business activities — so long as the hearing was held in public, not behind closed doors.
Biden was subpoenaed by the committee earlier this month.
Biden’s offer was set out in a letter from his attorney, Abbe Lowell, a famously combative figure who includes high-profile Democrats and Republicans in his past client list.
The three-page later lambasted Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) for an “empty investigation [that] has gone on too long, wasting too many better-used resources.”
