House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer is putting Hunter Biden on notice: show up for his impeachment inquiry deposition on Dec. 13 or be prepared to go to court.
“Hunter Biden has received special treatment his entire life,” Comer told the Just the News, No Noise television show Friday night. “Every government agency that should have caught the crimes the Bidens have been committed for years were told to stand down. And they think they can bully the Oversight Committee and set the rules. And that's not going to happen.
“We're going to treat this investigation like every congressional investigation in recent memory has been treated: you come in for a deposition, then you do the public hearing. All of our depositions are transparent. We released the transcripts,” Comer added. “….He is the key witness to all of the Biden crimes. So the subpoena called for him to show up in this office on Dec. 13 for a deposition. I expect to see Hunter Biden in this office for a deposition.”
Asked if he was prepared to go to court if the first son does not show up, Comer answered. “Absolutely.” Comer said he met with House leadership Friday and got assurances the GOP conference will vote to formally approve the impeachment inquiry, strengthening his committee’s hand to go to court to compel compliance with the subpoenas sent to Hunter Biden and others.
“I suspect that the House of Representatives will formally vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry. This is the exact same process that (former Speaker Nancy) Pelosi took during her impeachment,” he explained. “And they're not going to be able to have a leg to stand on in court if they try to defy our subpoenas.”
