Hunter Biden addresses ‘Big Guy’ conspiracy and addiction as he testifies on Capitol Hill
Hunter Biden testified for more than six hours behind closed doors on Wednesday in the Republican impeachment probe into his father, President Joe Biden, saying in his opening statement that “I did not involve my father in my business” and that the House GOP has “built your entire partisan house of cards on lies”.
Speaking to the press on Wednesday afternoon, Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell said: “After seven hours of questions, the Republican majority ends the day where they started. They have produced no evidence that would do anything to support the notion that there was any financial transactions that involved Hunter with his father – period.”
“It seems to me that the Republican members wanted to spend more time speaking about my client’s addiction than they could ask any question that had anything to do with what they call their impeachment inquiry,” he added.
For months, Hunter Biden, who did not address the press on Wednesday, said he would only testify in public in the probe, to avoid Republicans taking his words out of context in the way they then present it to the public.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said on Wednesday that he intends to hold a public hearing.
