WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Republicans are grilling the president’s son on Capitol Hill.
Hunter Biden testified behind closed doors as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
Biden came out swinging in a long-awaited deposition telling Republicans…You do not have evidence to support the baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn’t any.”
For months House Republicans have been trying to question him as part of their impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
They accuse Hunter of using his father’s position to make money from foreign clients.
“This is public corruption 101,” said Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.).
However, it isn’t clear if Hunter’s testimony will help Republicans make their case
Democrats call the investigation and this deposition embarrassing.
This whole thing has really been a tremendous waste of our legislative time,” said Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.).
Republicans haven’t shown any direct evidence of misconduct by President Biden and an FBI informant central to the impeachment case was just charged by federal officials for lying about bribery allegations.
“They are now trying to scramble to find anything to substantiate their fairy tale,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
Democrats are urging Republicans to end what they see as a politically motivated investigation.
“They have lost focus of what our job is,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas.).
In a statement, Hunter Biden said his testimony should put an end to what he called the “baseless and destructive political charade.”
