Lawyer For Hunter Biden Benefactor Says Rep. James Comer Misrepresented His Testimony
HuffPost
The Kentucky Republican allegedly offered "cherry-picked, out of context and totally misleading descriptions" of what Kevin Morris said in a closed deposition.
WASHINGTON ― House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-Ky.) misrepresented testimony by Kevin Morris, a friend of Hunter Biden’s who sat for a deposition on Thursday, according to Morris’s attorney.
Morris, a wealthy entertainment lawyer, spoke to lawmakers for several hours as part of the Republican impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden. Morris has loaned the president’s son millions of dollars.
“Kevin Morris’s massive financial support to Hunter Biden raises ethical and campaign finance concerns for President Joe Biden,” Comer said in a statement accompanying a summary of the interview.
Comer described Morris’s support for the president’s son as a scheme “to insulate then-presidential candidate Joe Biden from political liability.”
In a letter to the Oversight Committee obtained by HuffPost, Bryan Sullivan, an attorney for Morris, took issue with Comer’s characterization and demanded he release a full transcript of the interview.
