Hunter Biden will not attend a House Oversight Committee earing next week regarding alleged influence peddling and the Biden family’s business dealings, his lawyer said in a letter Wednesday.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., invited Hunter Biden, Tony Bobulinski, Devon Archer and Jason Galanis to testify at a public hearing on March 20 at 10 a.m.
All four individuals have testified behind closed doors as part of the impeachment inquiry, but Comer said the hearing will “examine inconsistencies among the witnesses’ testimonies in order to get the truth for the American people.”
Hunter Biden has stated previously that he wanted a public hearing. But now he’s refusing to come, with his former business associates also testifying at the same time.
Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell sent an angry letter to Comer Wednesday morning, announcing that Hunter won’t be there. The letter reads, in part:
“I received your March 6, 2024 letter, sent with no prior communication, inviting Hunter Biden to join a panel of other “witnesses” at a hearing that you are attempting to arrange on March 20. To begin, even if that hearing was a legitimate exercise of congressional authority, neither Mr. Biden nor I can attend because of a court hearing the very next day in California. The scheduling conflict is the least of the issues, however.
“Your blatant planned-for-media event is not a proper proceeding but an obvious attempt to throw a Hail Mary pass after the game has ended….
“After that six-plus hour deposition on February 28, 2024, along with the realization that your inquiry was based on a patchwork of conspiracies spun by convicted liars and a charged Russian spy, I thought even you would recognize your baseless impeachment proceeding was dead.
“Even before Mr. Biden testified, witness after witness undermined the central premise of your partisan charade. President Biden has done nothing wrong and certainly nothing, even in your misapplication of the impeachment provisions of the Constitution, to warrant further proceedings.”
“As Mr. Biden said numerous times, backed up by an accurate reference to the records in the Committees’ possession, his father was never involved in or derived any financial benefit from Mr. Biden’s businesses.
“Far from the ‘smoking guns’ you claim, the ‘evidence’ does not amount even to droplets from a water pistol.”

House Oversight Chair James Comer fired back with the following statement Wednesday morning:
“The House Oversight Committee has called Hunter Biden’s bluff. Hunter Biden for months stated he wanted a public hearing, but now that one has been offered alongside his business associates that he worked with for years, he is refusing to come.
“During our deposition and interview phase of our investigation, Hunter Biden confirmed key evidence, including evidence that his father, President Joe Biden, lied to the American people about his family’s business dealings and in fact attended meetings, spoke on speakerphone, and had coffee with his foreign business associates who collectively funneled millions to the Bidens. However, parts of Hunter Biden’s testimony contradict the testimonies of Devon Archer, Jason Galanis, and Tony Bobulinski.
“Next week’s hearing with Hunter Biden and his associates is moving forward and we fully expect Hunter Biden to participate. The American people demand the truth and accountability for the Bidens’ corruption.”

Remember when Hunter Biden and his counsel Abby Lowell called for a public hearing to “let the light shine on these proceedings”?
Hunter just declined to appear in a public hearing. It appears that he is suddenly heliophobic. https://t.co/F2k6rR2aQn— Jonathan Turley (@JonathanTurley) March 13, 2024
