On Wednesday, Hunter Biden appeared on Capitol Hill for deposition in the GOP’s impeachment inquiry into his father, President Joe Biden, and to deny the claim that the president had any involvement in his business dealings.
House Oversight and Judiciary Committees members interviewed Hunter during a closed-door session on Capitol Hill.
The president’s son came for the deposition before 10:00 a.m. while being flanked by his attorney Abbe Lowell. He did not give statements or speak to reporters.
“I am here today to provide the Committees with the one uncontestable fact that should end the false premise of this inquiry: I did not involve my father in my business,” Hunter told lawmakers in his testimony. “Not while I was a practicing lawyer, not in my investments or transactions domestic or international, not as a board member, and not as an artist. Never.”

After a brief appearance in Las Vegas court, Smirnov was charged with making false statements and creating a fictitious record. He did not enter a plea,...
