Hunter Biden Appears Before Congress, Refuses Questions on Finances and Ties to Lawyer
• Hunter Biden made a brief, dramatic appearance before the House Oversight Committee before refusing to answer questions, likely to create footage for a sympathetic documentary by his lawyer and financier Kevin Morris.
• Morris has lent Hunter millions of dollars over the last few years to pay for expenses and is producing a film aiming to gain sympathy for Hunter and suppress controversy over his life choices.
• Morris attempted to help cover up the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and is one of the buyers of Hunter's art as well as helping manage his finances.
• Emails suggest Morris's support is politically motivated to protect Joe Biden, convening a "crisis meeting" about Hunter's affairs that could impact Biden's campaign.
• Congressional Republicans have called on Morris to appear before lawmakers to answer questions about his financial ties to Hunter, but like Biden he has so far refused.
