House Republicans set date for public testimony from Hunter Biden

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House Oversight Committee said Wednesday that Hunter Biden has been invited to testify publicly this month at a hearing focused on the GOP impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden.
It was not immediately clear whether he had agreed to appear at the March 20 hearing. Sources told NBC News this week that as of Monday the two sides had not discussed a possible date for public testimony.
A representative for Hunter Biden’s legal team said Wednesday that it would respond to the committee's invitation in writing.
Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., the committee chair, said in a statement Wednesday that given his "repeated calls for a public hearing, I fully expect Hunter Biden to appear for a scheduled Oversight Committee hearing on March 20, alongside Biden family business associates."
The hearing will "examine inconsistencies among the witnesses’ testimonies in order to get the truth for the American people," Comer said.
