Hunter Biden has agreed to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee on December 13, in response to a subpoena.
Hunter Biden is also charged with three firearms felonies related to the 2018 purchase of a gun during a period he has acknowledged being addicted to drugs.
Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry allege that Hunter was involved in connecting the Biden family to foreign money, but have yet to provide evidence directly implicating President Biden.
The subpoenas mark the first time the panel has directly subpoenaed members of the Biden family.
Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, has agreed to testify publicly before the House Oversight Committee on December 13, in response to a subpoena issued by the committee. This decision comes after the Republican-led House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Hunter and James Biden, President Joe Biden's son and brother, as part of their investigation into whether the president committed an impeachable offense in connection to his family's foreign business dealings.
The subpoenas mark the first time the panel has directly subpoenaed members of the Biden family. Hunter's attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that Hunter will answer any pertinent and relevant questions at a public committee hearing to prevent selective leaks and manipulated transcripts. Republicans leading the impeachment inquiry allege that Hunter was involved in connecting the Biden family to foreign money, but have yet to provide evidence directly implicating President Biden.
The subpoena was originally for a closed-door deposition, but Biden's attorney insisted on a public hearing. House Oversight Committee Chairman, James Comer, agreed to a public hearing but maintained that Biden is still required to fully cooperate with the current subpoena. Comer accused Hunter Biden of trying to play by his own rules. However, Rep. Lisa McClain admitted that investigators have not found hard evidence of Joe Biden making policy changes as a result of receiving money from countries like China.
This sets up a potential high-stakes faceoff as a separate special counsel probe unfolds and his father campaigns for reelection. Hunter Biden is also charged with three firearms felonies related to the 2018 purchase of a gun during a period he has acknowledged being addicted to drugs.
The allegations against Hunter Biden connecting the Biden family to foreign money are yet to be substantiated with direct evidence implicating President Biden.

The article states that 'Republicans’ allegations of “corruption” by the Bidens are still uncorroborated and they have essentially fallen flat in their efforts to connect Joe Biden to the money his son made in China and elsewhere.' This statement shows a bias towards the Bidens as it dismisses the allegations without providing evidence to support this claim.
Lowell has criticized the investigation as a politically motivated 'crusade' to impeach President Biden.

"Hunter Biden is trying to play by his own rules instead of following the rules required of everyone else. That won’t stand with House Republicans," Comer said in a statement to Fox News.
Lowell previously said Hunter is "eager to have the opportunity" to testify "in a public forum," where he will answer GOP allegations that he leveraged his father's positions in government to make business deals and sell influence.
