"Congressional Controversies: Swalwell, Kinzinger, and Jordan Clash Over Hunter Biden"

Legal expert Jonathan Turley questions Rep. Eric Swalwell's role in Hunter Biden defying a House subpoena, noting that Swalwell's office reserved the space on the Senate side where Biden's press conference took place. While there may not be a crime committed by Swalwell, repercussions could come at the discretion of the House. Turley suggests that Swalwell's actions raise serious questions under House rules and could potentially be federal criminal contempt. Swalwell, a former Democratic manager of ex-President Donald Trump's impeachment proceedings, is criticized for associating with someone who is the subject of congressional proceedings. The situation highlights the hypocrisy of Democrats, who previously insisted on closed-door depositions before public hearings.
