The Perils and Politics Surrounding Hunter Biden's Public Statements

Hunter Biden's legal team put him in "greater peril" when he defied a subpoena from the House Oversight Committee as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden's alleged involvement in his son's foreign business dealings. Attorney Jonathan Turley warned that the stunt eradicated any plausible defense and suggested that Hunter should have gone inside and taken the Fifth Amendment. The committee threatened to hold Hunter in contempt of Congress, and Turley argued that the legal team should offer him another opportunity to testify. Hunter Biden is also facing multiple indictments related to false statements on a federal firearms form, possession of a handgun while addicted to drugs, and failure to pay federal taxes.
