The House Oversight Committee Chairman recently addressed questions regarding the handling of Hunter Biden's deposition. He clarified that committee members often work with staff attorneys to ask questions, and in this case, his staffer conducted the questioning. The decision not to videotape the deposition was due to demands from the Biden team, who preferred a public hearing instead. The Chairman defended the issuance of a second subpoena after Hunter Biden defied the first one, stating it was necessary to obtain valuable evidence.
The Chairman highlighted that the deposition revealed significant information, including Hunter Biden's admission of Joe Biden receiving $40,000 from China. He criticized Hunter Biden's credibility, pointing out inconsistencies in his statements during the deposition. The Chairman emphasized the importance of the transcript in revealing the truth about the Biden family's involvement with China and other matters.
Regarding Hunter Biden's claims of being under the influence when sending certain messages, the Chairman expressed skepticism and accused him of playing the drug and Russian disinformation cards to evade accountability. He reiterated the committee's commitment to holding the Biden family accountable for alleged financial crimes and the subsequent cover-up by deep state actors.
In conclusion, the Chairman deemed the deposition and interview with Jim Biden as successful steps in uncovering the truth and hinted at future public hearings to further investigate the matter. The committee aims to pursue referrals and identify individuals involved in the alleged cover-up, signaling a continued effort to ensure accountability in the case.
