Comer rejects Hunter Biden's offer of public testimony after previously stating witnesses could choose
-
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer rejected Hunter Biden's offer to testify publicly, claiming he must follow the rules of a private deposition.
-
However, weeks ago Comer said those subpoenaed could "choose" between a deposition or public hearing.
-
Hunter Biden's lawyer offered to have him testify publicly to avoid "one-sided press statements."
-
Comer previously stated the investigation was in the "downhill phase" and witnesses could choose deposition or hearings.
-
Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin blasted Comer's refusal of public testimony, saying it shows Republicans lack confidence in their investigation.
