Hunter Biden's Indictment: A Shield or a Sword?

House Oversight Chair James Comer suggests that special counsel David Weiss indicted Hunter Biden to protect him from testifying before the House Oversight Committee. Comer argues that the entire criminal investigation against Biden is a cover-up and downplays the charges brought against him. Comer has demanded Biden's appearance for a closed-door deposition, but Biden's attorney insists on a public hearing. If Biden fails to appear, Comer threatens to hold him in contempt of Congress. The criminal case against Biden, involving gun purchase and tax evasion charges, was nearly resolved in July but fell apart. The charges relate to Hunter Biden's overseas business dealings, which are central to House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
