Hunter Biden wants to go public, House Republicans say not so fast
Fox News
Hunter Biden is willing to testify for a GOP-controlled House committee only if it is made public. Many object to that bold move ahead of his father's 2024 race.
No way does the president’s son want a closed-door appearance in which the GOP can selectively leak the worst moments. Howard Kurtz is the host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in July 2013 and regularly appears on Special Report with Bret Baier and other programs.
I’m not sure this is the smartest strategy–and neither, apparently, do many in the White House. It shines a very bright spotlight on his history of legal problems and drug problems just when his dad is gearing up his reelection campaign.
And yet Jim Comer, chairman of the Oversight committee, is turning him down. The subpoena is for a deposition. Oh, but the panel would be happy to have him publicly testify at some point in the future. Hunter is "trying to play by his own rules," Comer says.
