"Hunter Biden's Surprise Contempt Hearing Appearance Sparks Political Drama"

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer argues that the Biden family "got played" by Hunter Biden's surprise appearance during a hearing on whether to hold him in contempt of Congress. The committee voted along party lines to refer a contempt resolution against Biden to the full House, stemming from his refusal to comply with subpoenas for his testimony issued last year. Comer insists that the Bidens are the ones who got played, dismissing criticism that the chaotic moment would backfire on Republicans investigating President Biden's involvement in his family's overseas business dealings.

Hunter Biden ordered to appear in Arkansas court for paternity case.

Hunter Biden has been ordered by a judge to appear in court next Monday for a contempt hearing in an Arkansas paternity case. The mother of one of his children has accused him of ignoring previous court orders and withholding evidence. The case has been ongoing since 2019 when a DNA test confirmed that Hunter Biden fathered the child with the woman. He had agreed to pay monthly child support, but the case has since been reopened to deal with still-ongoing financial issues.
