Swalwell Under Fire for Appearing to Facilitate Hunter Biden News Conference That Defied House Subpoena
- Rep. Eric Swalwell appeared to "facilitate" Hunter Biden's news conference on Capitol Hill where he defied a House subpoena
- Swalwell reserved the space on the Senate side for the news conference through his office
- Legal expert Jonathan Turley said Swalwell's actions raise questions about whether he encouraged a potential federal crime
- Republicans could potentially censure Swalwell or remove him from committees over his involvement
- Swalwell had previously defended closed-door depositions over public hearings during Trump's impeachment, the same format he criticized regarding Biden
