House Republicans Prepare Contempt Vote Against Hunter Biden for Subpoena Defiance

House Republicans are preparing to charge Hunter Biden with contempt of Congress after he defied a subpoena for a private deposition. The Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Judiciary Committee will vote on the charges, which could lead to a full House vote. Hunter Biden has rejected the closed-door testimony, offering to testify publicly instead, while his attorney criticizes the Republicans for playing politics. The GOP's impeachment inquiry has been examining Hunter's business dealings and alleged benefits to President Joe Biden, but no direct evidence of the president's wrongdoing has been found. The contempt hearings are scheduled just before Hunter Biden's court appearance on tax charges.
