Hunter Biden Defies a Subpoena

Hunter Biden on Wednesday defied subpoenas to appear in front of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, delivering instead a Trump-style broadside against his GOP investigators outside the Capitol. The President’s son says he has nothing to hide, but his refusal to answer questions suggests otherwise.Hunter blamed his no-show on Republicans’ insistence that he initially sit for a deposition behind closed doors. “I’m here to testify at a public hearing today, to answer any of the committee’s legitimate questions,” Hunter said, without taking media queries. He said the GOP’s “illegitimate” inquiry was based on “distortions, manipulated evidence and lies.” His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, claimed Republicans would use a closed-door session to leak distorted snippets of Hunter’s testimony.Copy...

House Votes to Back Opening of GOP Impeachment Probe of Biden

Hunter Biden’s Taxes and the Law

The U.S. legal system is premised on equal justice under the law, and that’s the lens through which to view the latest indictment against Hunter Biden. The President’s son faces legal peril from his own conduct, not because of his last name.Special Counsel David Weiss on Thursday indicted Hunter in California on nine charges for evading $1.4 million in federal taxes from 2016 through 2019. They include three felony and six misdemeanor charges related to tax evasion, failure to file and pay taxes, and filing false or fraudulent returns. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

GOP Sees Skulduggery in Hunter Biden Paying His Father Back for Truck 

WASHINGTON—Hunter Biden paid his father, Joe Biden, three installments totaling a little more than $4,000 in 2018 from a business account that held funds from his Chinese business dealings, according to documents released by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. While House Republicans said the money transfers link President Biden, who wasn’t in office at the time, to his son’s business activity in China, Democrats said they merely showed Hunter Biden reimbursing his father for some payments his father was making on a 2018 Ford F-150 Raptor that Hunter Biden was using. Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

What Hunter Biden Might Say If He Testifies On Capitol Hill

WASHINGTON — The president’s troubled son wants to face off against the Republican lawmakers who have been trash-talking him for years. They say he’s the scion of a “crime family” who has used his father’s government service to get rich and do favors for the foreigners paying him. Hunter Biden’s lawyer said Tuesday his client would comply with a subpoena for his testimony — but only in a public hearing on live TV, highlighting his desire for an aggressive defense against the GOP’s largely evidence-free accusations against his father, Joe Biden. Republicans rejected the proposal, insisting that Hunter Biden testify first behind closed doors. Though plans for testimony haven’t been settled, it’s not a mystery what he might say. He has defended himself against corruption accusations in inter...
