TL;DR Summary

Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance at the House Oversight Committee as Republicans prepared to vote on holding him in contempt for refusing a private deposition in the impeachment inquiry against his father, President Biden. Chaos ensued as Democrats and Republicans clashed over whether to allow him to testify, with Republicans insisting on a closed-door deposition. Hunter Biden's lawyer accused Republicans of engaging in a "political crusade" and selective leaks, while Republicans expressed anger and called for his arrest. The contempt charge now goes to the full House, and if endorsed, the Justice Department will decide whether to pursue a criminal case against him.
