Republicans have taken the first step toward holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena, hours after the president’s son made a surprise visit to Capitol Hill. The House Oversight and Judiciary committees each passed contempt charges against the younger Biden with unanimous Republican support and all Democrats opposed. It sets up the likelihood that the U.S. House will recommend criminal charges against a member of President Joe Biden’s family. It comes as the GOP advances into the final stages of an impeachment inquiry into the president himself. The charges will now go to the full House for consideration and if approved it will be up to the Department of Justice to decide whether to prosecute.

House Republicans plan to move forward next week with holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress after President Joe Biden's son defied a congressional subpoena to appear for a private deposition last month. The Republicans who lead the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Judiciary Committee announced Friday that they will hold votes on contempt charges against Hunter Biden as the GOP moves into the final stages of its impeachment inquiry. If the committees approve the charges, the full House would get a final vote. Hunter Biden has slammed the GOP-issued subpoena for closed-door testimony and has insisted he'd only testify in public.

Republicans say Hunter Biden is in more trouble after defying a congressional subpoena to appear privately for a deposition with investigators digging into his business dealings. Biden insisted outside the Capitol on Wednesday he'll only testify in public. Top Republicans say they'll begin looking at contempt of Congress proceedings in response to Hunter Biden’s lack of cooperation. Hunter Biden says Republicans don't want an open process allowing Americans to “see their tactics” and “expose their baseless inquiry.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says President Joe Biden was familiar with what his son would say. She said the Bidens are proud of their son.

The House has authorized the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Every Republican rallied behind the politically charged process despite lingering concerns among some in the party that the investigation has yet to produce evidence of misconduct by the president. Their investigation has raised ethical questions, but no evidence has emerged that Biden acted corruptly or accepted bribes in his current role or previous office as vice president. House Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team have been facing growing pressure to show progress in what has become a nearly yearlong probe centered around the business dealings of Biden’s family members. Biden called the effort a "baseless political stunt."
