Video caption: Hunter Biden: I’ve been the target of unrelenting ‘Trump attack machine’

It’s been a busy morning on Capitol Hill.

Hunter Biden was subpoenaed to provide closed-door testimony to House Republicans this morning in connection to the impeachment investigation.

But instead of doing so, he came to the Capitol and gave a brief speech lambasting the probe before getting into a car and leaving.

Republicans “have taken the light of my dad’s love for me and presented it as darkness. They have no shame,” Hunter told reporters.

He also reiterated that he would only answer Republicans questions in a public forum, an offer investigators have rejected.

“I am here,” he said. “Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry.”

House Republicans allege that the president knew of, and benefited from, improper business dealings on the part of his son.

The president’s son disputed those claims Wednesday morning.

“There is no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business, because it did not happen,” he said.

A far-right lawmaker, Jim Jordan, has said Republicans are already “looking at” holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for declining to testify.
