Last month, Hunter Biden participated in a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees regarding his foreign business dealings, part of the Republican-led House's broader interest in investigating his father for potential impeachment.

Despite this, Republicans plan to proceed with a hearing next week, featuring three other witnesses interviewed as part of their inquiry into President Joe Biden, according to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan.

Attorney Abbe Lowell characterized the invitation as an attempt to stage a "circus act" for right-wing media, criticizing it as a "Hail Mary pass" in a letter to Comer.

Lowell also questioned the seriousness of the oversight proceeding, suggesting that if Comer truly aimed to address alleged influence peddling, the committee should invite Jared Kushner and members of the Trump family alongside Hunter Biden.
