Hunter Biden’s decision to defy a congressional subpoena could threaten his freedom, according to legal experts who have looked at his case.
In early November, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee led by Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., issued subpoenas to privately depose both President Joe Biden’s son Hunter and his brother James Biden.
But last week Hunter Biden publicly flouted the subpoena from congressional investigators seeking to probe his and his father’s business dealings.
Legal experts contend Hunter Biden’s decision to brazenly resist the legal subpoena could put him at odds with his pretrial release stipulations relating to the federal charges he faces in Delaware.
Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to charges Oct. 3 that he lied about his drug use while purchasing a handgun.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Christopher Burke set the conditions for Hunter Biden’s release pending trial, which included clearing travel with a probation officer, abstaining from illegal drugs and alcohol, seeking employment, and, crucially, not violating the law.

Hunter Biden’s desperate display of publicly refusing to give closed-door testimony and defying the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena didn’t help his father’s re-election chances by no means.
During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that the White House wants Hunter Biden to stop talking in public when asked if his surprise press conference helped or hurt President Joe Biden’s campaign.
“Look, I think If you’re sitting in the White House right now, you’re like, ‘Please, Hunter Biden, we know your dad loves you. Please stop talking in public.’ This is not helpful to any of them for him to be out there, but at the same time, the president loves his son,” Psaki said. “That takes precedent over anything else. That is appealing.”
Psaki said that despite Biden being worried about his son’s mental health, the White House most likely wants him to “go away right now.”
House Republicans have said they will hold Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for his defiance. His legal troubles also remain a political liability for Biden as the House of Representatives moved forward with an impeachment inquiry into him.
