Shortly after Hunter Biden announced Wednesday that he’ll defy House Republicans’ demand that he appear in a closed-door deposition, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) threatened to hold the president’s son in contempt of Congress.
The MAGA congressman’s indignation over Biden’s refusal to comply with the subpoena, however is more than a little ironic considering Jordan himself openly ignored the House Jan. 6 committee’s requests that he appear for a deposition.
Just hours before Republicans planned a House vote to formally launch the impeachment inquiry into his father, Biden held an impromptu press conference on Capitol Hill to declare that he would only testify publicly before Congress. Additionally, he blasted the GOP’s “shameless” probe into the Biden family business dealings, which he framed as taking “the light of my dad’s love for me” and presenting it “as darkness.”
