Republicans on the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Hunter Biden to testify at a closed-door deposition, but the president's son has showed up in Washington, DC demanding an open hearing:
MSNBC (@MSNBC) ~ "What are they afraid of? I'm here. I'm ready." Hunter Biden tells reporters he is in DC to testify at a public hearing, as Republicans insist the president's son speak to them behind closed doors.

Actually, Hunter ... you're too stupid to realize that the House Oversight Committee is doing you a favor by holding the hearing behind closed doors ... 'cuz you're gonna say some real dumb, revealing things at this hearing. You know you are, dude ... admit it ... you just can't help yourself.
Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ Hunter Biden refuses to comply with @JamesComer's subpoena to be deposed behind closed doors and demands a public hearing so he can tell sob stories on TV.
Reminder that Don Jr. testified behind closed doors for over 40 hours about the Russia hoax.
Hold him in contempt!

Excellent point! Why is it that Donald Trump, Jr. can give 40 hours of testimony behind closed doors in front of a Democrat-run House Committee, but Hunter just can't bring himself to do it in front of a Republican-run House Committee, eh?
Well, that's one way to get out of testifying (though Biden might get hit with a Contempt of Congress charge):
President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden on Wednesday defied an order by congressional investigators to testify behind closed doors about his business dealings, ratcheting up tensions with Republicans who are pushing ahead with an impeachment probe of his father.
At a news conference outside the Capitol, Biden said he would testify at a public hearing. But he ignored a subpoena by the House Oversight Committee to testify privately.
The panel has threatened to hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress if he did not show.
Hunter Biden insisted his father never profited from his business dealings (or art sales), but the scene at the Capitol was something else:
Chris Stigall (@ChrisStigall) ~ Is it possible there could be a worse Democrat standing at the side of Hunter Biden than the guy who was shtupping a Chinese spy? Amazing optics.
Simply amazing!
Swalwell was only there because, after Hunter concluded his lil' whine-fest, he and Hunter were gonna go lookin' for some Asian poon-tang, together.
Also another narrative pivot has taken place. Remember when Joe Biden insisted that he never spoke to his son about his overseas business dealings? Here's where things stand now:
Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) ~ This is one HELL of a new qualifier from Hunter Biden.
Hunter now says, “My father was not financially involved in my business”
FLASHBACK: Joe Biden used to say he has never talked about business with his family. This is a major shift from the Bidens.

See what I was talkin' about Hunter?! You simply cannot keep from putting your foot in your mouth, boy! You are your very own worst enemy. Now, the ever-changing, ridiculous lie is that your father was not "financially" involved in your business dealings, eh? BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
Update your talking points for the eleventh time, mainstream media!
Yeah ... first it was Joe Biden did NOT do "A." Then, it was ... well, okay ... Joe Biden did "A," but he did NOT do "B." Then, it was ... well, okay ... Joe Biden did "A & B," but he did NOT do "C." Then, it was ... well, okay ... Joe Biden did "A, B & C," but he did NOT do "D." Then, it was ... well, okay ... Joe Biden did "A, B, C & D," but he did NOT do "E." Then, it was ... well, okay ... Joe Biden did "A, B, C, D & E," but he did NOT do "F." Etc., etc., etc. What iteration are we up to, now ... "L" ... "M" ... "N"???
As for what happens next with this story, stay tuned.
