In a stormy, contentious hearing on Wednesday, January 10th, Hunter Biden stormed out of a House Oversight Committee hearing when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was set to question him, getting up and leaving as Rep. MTG mocked him and the crowd reacted with shock and surprise.
As background, the House Oversight Committee was holding a hearing, which started at 10 am, to debate a resolution titled “Resolution Recommending That The House Of Representatives Find Robert Hunter Biden In Contempt Of Congress.”
That resolution provides, “The Committee on Oversight and Accountability, having considered this Report, reports favorably thereon and recommends that the Report be approved. The form of the Resolution that the Committee on Oversight and Accountability would recommend to the House of Representatives citing Robert Hunter Biden for contempt of Congress pursuant to this Report is as follows: Resolved, That Robert Hunter Biden shall be found to be in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a congressional subpoena. Resolved, That pursuant to 2 U.S.C. §§ 192 and 194, the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall certify the report of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, detailing the refusal of Robert Hunter Biden to appear for a deposition before the Committee on Oversight and Accountability as directed by subpoena, to an appropriate United States attorney, to the end that Mr. Biden be proceeded against in the manner and form provided by law. Resolved, That the Speaker of the House shall otherwise take all appropriate action to enforce the subpoena.”
And, giving the background to what happened and why it is important, the resolution’s Executive Summary notes, “On December 13, 2023, Robert Hunter Biden failed to comply with deposition subpoenas issued by the Committees on Oversight and Accountability and the Judiciary for testimony relevant to the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry and the Committees’ oversight investigations. Instead, Mr. Biden opted to read a short, prepared statement in front of the Capitol. Accordingly, Mr. Biden has violated federal law, and must be held in contempt of Congress. Mr. Biden’s testimony is a critical component of the impeachment inquiry into, among other things, whether Joseph R. Biden, Jr., as Vice President and/or President: (1) took any official action or effected any change in government policy because of money or other things of value provided to himself or his family; (2) abused his office of public trust by providing foreign interests with access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or him; or (3) abused his office of public trust by knowingly participating in a scheme to enrich himself or his family by giving foreign interests the impression that they would receive access to him and his office in exchange for payments to his family or him.”
In any case, the hearing began at 10 am and Hunter made a surprise appearance alongside his lawyer Abbe Lowell for it, causing an uproar among the Republican members of the panel, the NYP reports, and then left within about 10 minutes, getting out before Rep. MTG could question him.
Posting about the incident on X after it occurred, Rep. MTG said, “Hunter Biden traffics women for sex but ran away when I was recognized to speak to him. The only women Hunter Biden likes to deal with are the women he hires for sex, flies across the country, films and photos his disgusting porn with, and post his nasty videos on porn sites. Hunter can’t handle being held accountable for the crimes he has committed.”
Rep. Nancy Mace, for her part, asked during the meeting, “My first question is who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today?” She continued, “You are the epitome of white privilege coming into the Oversight Committee spitting in our face ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed? What are you afraid of? You have no balls.”
