Hunter Biden ducks House interview under threat of contempt, begs for public hearing instead

First son Hunter Biden made a shameless plea for public sympathy outside the Capitol on Wednesday — skipping a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee under the threat of being held in contempt.

“For six years, I’ve been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting, ‘Where’s Hunter?’ Well, here’s my answer, ‘I am here,’” said the younger Biden, 53. 

“Let me state as clearly as I can: my father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist.”

President Biden’s son had received a subpoena to be interviewed by the Oversight Committee behind closed doors at 9:30 a.m. Instead, he began his surprise 5-minute speech about 10 minutes later.
