Hunter Biden WILL have public hearing says top Republican James Comer after six-hour impeachment deposition revealed ‘many discrepancies’ about Joe’s involvement in his son’s shady business deals

Hunter Biden will hold a public hearing after his six-hour closed-door deposition exposed “many discrepancies” about Joe’s involvement in his son’s shady business deals, Republican Rep. James Comer says.

Comer, R-Ky., chairman of the House Oversight Committee, is leading the investigation into whether Joe Biden used his position and “brand” to enrich his family in a complex $20 million “influence peddling” scheme.

He told reporters after Hunter’s six-hour statement “proved several pieces of our evidence,” adding, “we will have a public hearing after this.”

“I think a public hearing will hopefully clear up some of the discrepancies between some of the statements made by some of the employees and what we heard today.”

The chairman added that he is “very optimistic and very excited” about the statement and promised to release the transcript of the interview in the coming days without disclosing further details.

Hunter left Capitol Hill after a grueling day of questioning with a slight grin on his face, but did not respond to shouted questions about whether he will participate in an expected public hearing.

He did not engage in any media stunt antics, unlike his previous trips to the Hill in December in January that drew Republican ire.

His attorney Abbe Lowell said today’s statement showed Republicans have “no evidence.”

“The Republican majority ends the day where they started. “They have not presented any evidence to support the idea that there were any financial transactions involving Hunter during his father period,” he told reporters after the statement.

“It seems to me that the Republican members wanted to spend more time talking about my client’s addiction than on … anything having to do with what they call their impeachment inquiry.”

However, Republicans believe the impeachment went well.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told reporters that Hunter lied in the statement about his involvement with Blue Star Strategies, a consulting firm that worked with Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where Hunter held a position on the board.

“One thing that was interesting to me is that he lied when he talked about Blue Star Strategies,” she told reporters. “He denied any involvement until we gave him proof to his face that he was indeed involved.”

When asked if the closed-door meeting uncovered any serious crimes and misdemeanors, Greene replied: “Distributing influence… We can see that he sold his father’s name and business.”

The president’s son, a recovering drug addict, also sidestepped a loud question about whether the cocaine found in the White House last summer was his.

Hunter fiercely defended his father to Republican investigators, forcefully stating, “I did not involve my father in my affairs,” according to his opening statement obtained by DailyMail.com.

He explained how Joe, who “saved” his life, was present during his “darkest days of addiction,” which have been politicized by the Republican party to use in their “sham” impeachment.

“You have no evidence to support the baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies about my father because there is none,” he continued.

He further blasted Republicans, saying their “house of cards” is “built on lies” during testimony in Congress.

Meanwhile, Democrats called the impeachment inquiry an “embarrassment” for Republicans, adding that their pursuit of the president’s son is nothing more than a “wild goose chase.”

However, Democrats have repeatedly called the impeachment inquiry a sham and a waste of time.

“It’s just so embarrassing that Republicans are continuing this wild goose chase for President Biden,” progressive Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, said Wednesday morning before issuing the statement.

“I mean, they’re acting like Hunter Biden is running for president.”

Some Democrats who were in the statement similarly told reporters that the meeting was lackluster.

“If you ever wonder why 50 percent of this country doesn’t vote, look no further than the hour we just spent on this statement,” Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., said after leaving office . the meeting behind closed doors after an hour.

The first hour of the deposition “was the nail in the coffin of what is a complete, bogus and sham impeachment inquiry,” Rep. Daniel Goldman said after leaving office.

Republicans are so desperate to humiliate the president that they have started asking the president for some personal details about a divorce that took place nearly a decade ago. That’s what this has been reduced to,” Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., told reporters.

One of the leading Democrats to oppose the investigation, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said the hearing was a “huge waste” of time and resources.

This has been a “comedy of errors” from the beginning, he said.

He said he “understands” why Hunted wanted to testify publicly after spending the first three hours of the deposition.

Raskin also said “paranoid suspicion” was raised about Republicans’ focus on the more than two dozen Hunters business calls Joe was on.

Republicans, meanwhile, said the president’s son was not forthcoming.

Hunter Biden was “defiant and dishonest” in his statement, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., said after leaving the room.

Democrats also denounced Republicans’ use of information from former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov in the investigation, as he was recently accused of ties to Russian intelligence services.

Smirnov “lied” about an alleged Biden family “bribery program” with Ukrainians and had “high-level contacts with Russian intelligence agents,” prosecutors said.

The fake bribery scheme, in which a top Ukrainian oil official paid $10 million to Joe and Hunter, was at the center of the Republican’s impeachment proceedings until a few days ago.

Last week, special counsel David Weiss accused Smirnov of lying about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden taking bribes from Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

If convicted, Smirnov faces up to 25 years in prison.

“Their primary source was cooperation with Russian intelligence services,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told reporters on Wednesday.

“The fact that Republicans received that information, that the entire country received that information, and that they are still moving forward with their impeachment proceedings and investigations should be a red flag to this entire country.”

The progressives likened the impeachment inquiry to a “deep-sea fishing expedition.”
