House Republicans releases contempt resolution against Hunter Biden

House Republicans on Monday released a resolution recommending that the chamber find Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress, after the president's son failed to comply with a subpoena for closed-door testimony. 

House Oversight and Accountability Committee chair James Comer, Republican of Kentucky, released the resolution and an accompanying report Monday, and the panel will consider the resolution Wednesday morning. 

"Mr. Biden's flagrant defiance of the Committees' deposition subpoenas—while choosing to appear nearby on the Capitol grounds to read a prepared statement on the same matters—is contemptuous, and he must be held accountable for his unlawful actions," the House Republicans' report said. "Accordingly, the chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability recommends that Congress find Robert Hunter Biden in contempt for his failure to comply with the committee subpoena issued to him."
