Hunter Biden's Public Testimony: A Missed Opportunity for House Republicans

Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, offered to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee, but Republicans rejected the offer. Biden's attorneys quoted the committee chair's previous demand for public testimony, stating that it would prevent selective leaks and manipulated transcripts. Republicans, however, insisted that Biden should comply with the lawfully issued subpoena for a closed-door deposition and suggested a future public hearing. Democrats criticized the rejection, calling it an "epic humiliation" and accusing Republicans of not being interested in the facts. Hunter Biden has been a target of Republican investigations, with allegations of corruption and improper interference in his legal cases.
