Hunter Biden has agreed to testify before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee next month in connection to the panel’s investigation into the Biden family, RadarOnline.com can report.
In a sudden development to come amid the House GOP’s ongoing investigation into Hunter and President Joe Biden, the embattled first son’s lawyers announced on Tuesday that Hunter is willing to testify in connection to the ongoing probe.
According to CNN, Hunter’s legal team sent the House Oversight Committee a letter and made it clear that President Biden’s son would only testify if the proceedings were made open to the public.
In the letter, Hunter’s lawyers addressed the committee’s use of closed-door sessions and accused the GOP-led panel of “manipulating facts” and “misinforming the public.”
The first son’s legal team proposed that the hearings should be open to “shed light” on the proceedings. They also emphasized that if the committee believes their efforts are “important” and involve issues that the American people should know about, then it is “crucial” to make them transparent.
“We have seen you use closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public,” Hunter’s team wrote. “We therefore propose opening the door.”
“Here we are, eleven months into your so-called investigation, and every objective review of your ‘revelations’ — including by some of your colleagues — has declared your exploration as one turning up only dry holes,” Hunter lawyers wrote on Tuesday.
“Your Committee has been working for almost a year—without success—to tie our client’s business activities to his father.”
