Hunter Biden Offers Public Testimony to House Republicans
-
Hunter Biden offered to testify publicly before House Republicans, defying their subpoena for a closed-door deposition. He said "Here I am, Mr. Chairman, taking you up on your offer."
-
Experts said Republicans are in a bad PR position if they refuse Hunter's offer for public testimony and insist on questioning him privately. It may hurt them with voters.
-
Hunter framed himself as willing to cooperate, while saying Republicans "do not want an open process." He can now argue he tried to comply.
-
Republicans may lose support by attacking Hunter's history of addiction. At least half of Americans know someone struggling with substance abuse.
-
As the Hunter Biden saga drags on without clear evidence of wrongdoing, Democrats can build their case that House Republicans are not focused on governing.
