House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, informed Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe D. Lowell, that the committee's hearing on alleged influence peddling and the Biden family's business transactions will take place next week, regardless of whether the First Son will attend or not.
Comer extended a request to Biden and his business associates, Tony Bobulinski, Devon Archer, and Jason Galanis, to take part in a public hearing set for 10 a.m. on March 20.
Hunter Biden's Business Dealings
In a letter directed to Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe D. Lowell, Comer stated the necessity of Biden's absence and hinted that it may indicate a recognition of the potential scrutiny that his public testimony might not withstand.
Comer said to Lowell's charges that he had cherry-picked facts and sensationalized the matter by calling attention to the point that Democrats and Lowell himself had engaged with the media immediately after Hunter Biden's prior testimony, even before the transcript of that hearing was made public.
In his speech, the Chairman identified that a public hearing would provide Hunter Biden with the opportunity to face the evidence that is allegedly presented against him.
As part of the inquiry into whether or not his father, President Joe Biden, should be prosecuted for impeachment, Hunter Biden had already provided testimony before both the Oversight Committee and the Judiciary Committee.
The purpose of the search was to gather information about Joe Biden's suspected involvement in his son's lucrative business activities in various countries, including Ukraine, Russia, China, Romania, and Kazakhstan.
Although Hunter Biden continues to deny that his father was involved in his business dealings, he has admitted that his father had contact with a number of international business acquaintances. This recognition lends credibility to the accusations made by persons such as Devon Archer and Tony Bobulinski.
Both Archer and Hunter Biden had worked together on the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, which is a Ukrainian oil firm, and they had a strong connection with one another, according to Fox News.

Dispute Arises from Hunter Biden's Testimony
A failed business transaction with the Chinese corporation CEFC was the reason for Hunter Biden's harsh assessment of Bobulinski during his testimony. He charged Bobulinski of being arrogant and harboring hatred toward him. As a result of these characterizations, Bobulinski and Democratic MPs found themselves in dispute with their fellow politicians.
Furthermore, Hunter Biden and his legal representative pointed out Jason Galanis's incarceration for involvement in a bond-issuance fraud scheme. Galanis alleged that the Justice Department shielded Hunter Biden during his own criminal prosecution.
In his letter, Chairman Comer highlighted the invitation extended to Hunter Biden's business associates, emphasizing their role for dealing with any discrepancies that have come up from Biden's testimony regarding his father's involvement. Comer urged Hunter Biden to reconsider his stance, emphasizing the worth of transparency and honesty.
In considering Hunter Biden's absence, the scheduled hearing will proceed as planned, proving the Committee's dedication to examining the Biden family's business transactions and maintaining accountability.
