In his opening statement, Hunter Biden stated that his testimony should "put an end" to the Republicans' impeachment inquiry because President Joe Biden was not involved in his business dealings, saying, "I did not involve my father in my business. Not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist. Never."
Accusing Republicans of ignoring clear and convincing evidence, Hunter Biden argued that the investigation into his father was launched based on innuendo, distortion, and sensationalism, stating, "My testimony today should put an end to this baseless and destructive political charade."
Following his opening statement, Hunter Biden continued to answer questions from the committee.
ABOUT THE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY...
Republicans allege that Biden abused his power while serving as Vice President during the Barack Obama administration between 2009 and 2017 and conducted his financial affairs through his son's company. In months of preliminary investigation, Republicans have yet to produce any evidence that President Biden broke the law.
Last year, House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer released 19 pages of documents showing that Hunter Biden received large payments from Russian, Kazakh, and Ukrainian oligarchs during the time Biden was Vice President, stating, "During Joe Biden's vice presidency, Hunter Biden sold him as 'the brand' to make millions from oligarchs in Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine."
