Republicans in the House of Representatives have declared they are taking action against Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, following his refusal to participate in a private deposition regarding his foreign business dealings. His decision came to light after he made an assertion at Capitol Hill that his father had no involvement in his overseas businesses. As a result, Hunter may now face charges for contempt.

The Republican chair involved with the impeachment inquiry of President Biden announced on Wednesday plans to start proceedings for contempt of Congress against Hunter Biden. His refusal to partake in Wednesday’s closed-door deposition was deemed defiance of lawful subpoenas, sparking representatives James Comer (House Oversight Chair) and Jim Jordan (House Judiciary Chair) to issue a joint statement promising initiation of contempt proceedings. “We won’t administer special treatment just because he carries the surname Biden,” they said. They see this as scrutiny into public corruption at maximum government levels.

While communicating with reporters, Hunter alleged attempts by House Republicans to employ tactics that dehumanize him simply to cause embarrassment and harm to his father. He claimed he had been the incessant target for half a dozen years by relentless attacks from Trump supporters enquiring about his whereabouts, only for him to reply: “I am present here.”

Hunter was issued a subpoena by House Republicans commanding his presence at a private deposition on Wednesday; this was so he could give responses relating to questions about his business along with revelations about the President’s knowledge and participation level within these dealings. In response, Hunter demanded this matter be discussed publicly through hearing. Furthermore, during his press conference, he assured reporters of President Biden having no financial investment nor involvement within any aspect of his business spectrum.

In response to Hunter’s contemptuous actions towards congress, the Department and Justice will determine whether there is ground for arresting or prosecuting him – pending approval from House votes supportive of holding him accountable.

The aforementioned developments arise right on time as preparations are underway in the house regarding voting to authorize President Biden’s impeachment inquiry. This move will commence the next stage of the House Republicans’ investigation into the president. Special committees within the house have been examining whether President Biden may have profited from any overseas business-related activities his son, Hunter undertook, as well as other allegations of impropriety. At the same time, White House councils are querying the standing legality held by these committees and hindering their progress in subpoenaing others along with the Biden household pending a chamber-wide vote officially commencing this probe.

Reactions to this scenario were shown in September when former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy decided he would instruct leaders of committee to initiate an inquiry into impeaching Biden amidst alleged corrupt practices surrounding him. Instead of moving ahead with what could potentially be an acrimonious floor vote, this Californian Republican chose to take on this inquiry single-handedly – much to White House’s bewilderment regarding its legal status.
