Hunter Biden just delivered a ‘devastating blow’ to Comer and Jordan’s contempt case – By David Badash (Alternet) / Jan 12, 2024
An attorney for Hunter Biden has sent two top House Republican committee chairmen a letter that appears to destroy their claims of contempt of Congress, declaring the subpoenas they sent demanding the President’s son’s testimony are “legally invalid” – while using their own against them.
“I write to make you aware (if you are not already) that your subpoenas were and are legally invalid and cannot form a legal basis to proceed with your misdirected and impermissible contempt resolution. And you two, of all people, should know that is the case,” Biden attorney Abbe Lowell wrote on Friday to Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, who has a law degree, and Oversight Committee Chair Jim Comer.
House Republicans have been threatening the President’s son with contempt of Congress charges after he agreed to testify but only in public, and not behind closed doors. On Friday, House Republican Majority Leader Steve Scalise announced the full House will vote on whether to send contempt of Congress charges against Hunter Biden to the U.S. Dept. of Justice for criminal prosecution.
