The House Oversight Committee will vote on whether to hold Hunter Biden in contempt over his refusal to sit for a closed-door deposition with lawmakers.
A House panel will vote Wednesday on whether to hold Hunter Biden in contempt over his refusal to sit for a closed-door deposition with lawmakers in their ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden has said he would testify only in a public forum, castigating the Republican-led probe as "illegitimate."
The House Oversight Committee on Monday released a 19-page report recommending he be held in contempt of Congress, as well as the text of the proposed resolution.
"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 report stated.
