Two House committees voted to approve a recommendation to the full House that presidential son Hunter Biden be held in contempt of Congress for his failure to abide by a House subpoena, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday evening.
The votes were made only a few hours after Biden had showed up, unannounced, at one of the committee hearings in a “stunt” designed to show that he was ready to testify publicly, according to Axios.
House Republicans have insisted that Biden first be deposed behind closed doors before any public hearing would take place, CNN reported.
The House Judiciary voted 23-to-14 in favor of forwarding the contempt recommendation to the House, according to NBC News; the Oversight Committee, voting a little later in the day, recommended the House review 25-to-21.
“Resolved, That Robert Hunter Biden shall be found to be in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a congressional subpoena,” the report from the Oversight Committee read.

Texas Republican Rep. Pat Fallon called Hunter Biden’s contempt hearing a “narcissistic circus” with the president’s son operating as the apparent ring leader.
The Texas congressman’s comment to “The Record with Greta Van Susteren” on Newsmax, followed Hunter’s surprise visit to his contempt hearing where Congress members were deliberating on charging the president’s son.
“It’s a narcissistic circus,” Fallon said. “I mean, all this guy cares about is making money. Apparently, he’s filming a documentary, so he’s probably looking [to] cash in one last time on the Biden name.

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) addresses reporters in Statuary Hall of the Capitol in Washington, D.C., following a vote to continue an impeachment inquiry into President Biden on Wednesday, December 13, 2023.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) defended himself Wednesday, claiming it was actually the Biden family who “got played” when Hunter Biden unexpectedly showed up to the committee’s contempt hearing.
Hunter Biden took limited questions from Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) before abruptly leaving the hearing, creating a stir among GOP members.
The committee voted to advance a resolution holding him in contempt of Congress over refusing a subpoena to testify behind closed doors last month. Biden previously agreed to testify, but only in public.
“In my opinion, the Bidens are the ones that got played today,” Comer said in a NewsNation interview. “I think that the American people saw the arrogance and entitlement of the president’s son.”
The Oversight investigation into the Biden family has centered on allegations that Hunter Biden, as well as the president’s brother James Biden, accepted money in foreign business deals. Republicans have also accused the president of accepting money, though they have not shown concrete evidence.
During the Wednesday hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) confronted Hunter Biden over his appearance.
