Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, has declined an invitation to testify before Congress at a hearing scheduled for March 20.
His attorney criticized the invitation, stating it was made without prior communication and was set on a day when Biden is due in court in California. The attorney dismissed the hearing as a partisan attempt to revive baseless accusations against Biden, referencing his previous closed-door testimony where he denied any wrongdoing.
The request for a public hearing aligns with Biden's own demand to appear publicly. Past witnesses have accused Republicans on the committee of mischaracterizing their statements. Despite initially avoiding a deposition, Biden eventually agreed to a closed-door session where he denied involving his father in his business activities.
