Hunter Biden is expected to sit for a deposition as part of the House impeachment inquiry against President Biden at the House Judiciary and House Oversight Committees next month, after the first son defied a congressional subpoena and was at risk of being held in contempt of Congress.
The House Judiciary Committee announced the newly-scheduled deposition date on X, formerly Twitter, Thursday evening.
“HUNTER BIDEN DEPOSITION. CONFIRMED. FEBRUARY 28,” the X post reads.
“Hunter Biden will appear before our committees for a deposition on February 28, 2024,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said in a joint-statement Thursday. “His deposition will come after several interviews with Biden family members and associates.”
They added: “We look forward to Hunter Biden’s testimony.”
Comer and Jordan also announced additional witnesses will appear before the committee for testimony, including Hunter Biden’s business partners Mervyn Yan and Rob Walker on Jan. 22; Eric Schwerin and Joey Langston on Jan. 29; and Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski on Feb. 5.
