House panel advances contempt of Congress action against Hunter Biden
Politics,US House,House Oversight And Accountability Committee,Hunter Biden
A House committee voted Wednesday to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress after a chaotic hearing interrupted by the president’s son, who made a surprise, defiant appearance in the front row of the hearing room.
His shock appearance was brief, and it didn’t stop the Republican-led panel from passing the resolution holding him in contempt for refusing to provide closed-door testimony about his father’s involvement in his lucrative business deals.
The 25-21 vote, endorsed separately Tuesday by the House Judiciary Committee, sends the contempt resolution to the House floor for a vote as soon as next week. If it passes, the matter will be referred to the Biden-led Justice Department.

Stone-faced and arms crossed, the president’s son sat in a light-gray suit and glowered at lawmakers on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee for the first several minutes of the hearing.
He was flanked by his attorney Abbe Lowell and Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, who helped Hunter Biden pay off a delinquent IRS bill.
