Biden ignores reporter questions after son Hunter defies congressional subpoena
Fox News
President Biden failed to address how his son, Hunter, skipped out on a GOP congressional deposition on Wednesday, ignoring reporter questions on the matter.
Earlier in the day, Hunter Biden had arrived on Capitol Hill — not to comply with his subpoena and be deposed at the House Oversight Committee — but instead to hold a press conference and again offer to testify publicly. He maintained that his father "was not financially involved" in his business, saying there is "no evidence because it did not happen."

At the White House, President Biden joked with the waiting press to "please say seated," before staying on script about this administration's infrastructure initiatives.
"Last year I asked this council to ensure that resilience is built into all of our infrastructure projects, including critical sectors like energy, communications, transportation and health care. Together, you delivered, especially on these key challenges," Biden said. "Today, I'm looking forward to hearing about new projects this council will pursue in the coming years as well. So thank you all for being here. I'm just going to ask the press to step out so we can begin our briefing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
