Putting an end to months of resistance, Hunter Biden has consented to a private deposition before House Republicans next month, abandoning his prior insistence on testifying in a public forum.
The House Oversight Committee confirmed the development on Thursday, revealing that an agreement had been reached between the two parties for Hunter Biden to undergo a deposition on February 28.
"After a series of interviews with members and associates of the Biden family, we are pleased to announce the agreement for Hunter Biden's private testimony," stated Representative James Comer, the Oversight Committee chairman, along with Representative Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Panel chairman. "We eagerly anticipate Hunter Biden's deposition."
Previously, Republicans had been prepared to move forward with a contempt resolution against Hunter Biden on the House floor this week. However, on Tuesday, they opted to postpone the resolution to provide additional time for attorneys to finalize the agreement.
