    But only in public. When they are not recorded for public display, lawyers can browbeat witnesses unmercifully and trap them with endless complicated and confusing questions. This is a very good idea for Biden.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    If, as you claim, your efforts are important and involve issues that Americans should know about, then let the light shine on these proceedings,” Hunter Biden’s lawyers wrote in the letter.

    House Republicans might find it hard to turn down an opportunity to grill Hunter Biden in front of a national audience -– but it would be deviation from how they’ve handled their oversight probes.

    Earlier this month, the Republican-led committee subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden, President Joe Biden’s son and brother, setting up a highly anticipated showdown as House Republicans continue to search for whether the president committed an impeachable offense in connection to his family’s foreign business dealings – a high bar they have yet to meet.

    One high-ranking IRS official along with the special counsel investigating Hunter, David Weiss, have disputed claims by the whistleblowers in congressional testimony.

    “Here we are, eleven months into your so-called investigation, and every objective review of your ‘revelations’ — including by some of your colleagues — has declared your exploration as one turning up only dry holes,” Hunter Biden’s lawyers wrote.

    House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, the Republican who issued the subpoena, previously said Hunter Biden’s testimony was needed to determine the extent that “Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family’s influence peddling schemes.”
