Do you remember back in December when House Republicans tried to get Hunter Biden to testify about his family's extreme political corruption?

And Hunter refused on the basis that that testimony was going to be behind closed doors. It wasn't

going to be public. Here is what Hunter said at the time. These same committee

chairman have engaged in unprecedented political

interference in what would have already been a five-year

investigation of me. Yet here I am, Mr Chairman, taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people

in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.

Well, I've chosen, I am here to testify at a public hearing today

to answer any of the committee's legitimate questions.

Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics,

expose their baseless inquiry,

or hear what I have to say.

What are they afraid of?

I'm here. I'm ready. He is ready, okay, you're willing to go across the street. Why not testify now, sir?

Why not testify now now?

He is ready, okay?

You hear him?

He'll testify, but ain't going to be in private. Uh-uh. No closed-door testimony. It had to be public

until House Republicans invited him to testify in public at which point he

refused.

Here's a letter.

This is from Hunter Biden's lawyer.
