Hunter Biden on Wednesday rejected a request from House Republicans to testify publicly at a hearing next week, with his attorney blasting the planned panel as a 'circus act.' 'Mr. Biden declines your invitation to this carnival side show,' Abbe Lowell, an attorney for the president's son, said in a letter to House Oversight Committee chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky. Comer invited Biden to testify as part of his impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden on March 20.
The oversight chair said the hearing is titled “Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office” and that he's invited former Hunter Biden business associates Jason Galanis, Devon Archer and Tony Bobulinski. It's unclear which of the witnesses will actually appear. A spokesperson for the committee did not immediately respond to an inquiry. Galanis is serving a 14-year prison sentence for two multimillion-dollar fraud schemes.
