Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, welcomed a proposed congressional inquiry into presidential family business dealings after Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah) called for him and Donald Trump Jr. to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Curtis Seeks Hunter Biden, Trump Jr. Testimony
On Tuesday, Curtis asked Senate Judiciary Committee leaders to investigate whether members of presidential families have used their political connections for private financial benefit or preferential access.
In a letter, Curtis called for subpoenas of Hunter Biden and Trump Jr. to examine their business dealings, foreign relationships, gifts and other benefits.
“A toaster is a wedding gift. A private-island party paid for by a Putin-connected oligarch is something else,” Curtis wrote on X.
Curtis also referenced previous Republican investigations into Hunter Biden’s foreign business relationships, arguing that congressional oversight should not change based on which party controls the White House.
Hunter Biden Says ‘Bring It On‘
Hunter Biden responded on X: “I say bring it on.”
“I’ve already given more than seven hours of sworn testimony,” he wrote, adding that “more than three dozen witnesses testified across two chambers.”
Hunter Biden said he had no foreign business dealings while his father was president and added: “I’ll sit next to Don Jr. and testify any time, any place.”
He also suggested Eric Trump and Jared Kushner could participate, saying, “Eric and Jared can join us too. No need for a subpoena. Let’s all do it tomorrow.”
Hunter Biden Responds to Critics
Responding to critics on X, Biden said, “I know I will” testify after a user called for all of them to appear under oath.
He rejected claims that he had refused to testify, saying, “I not only testified under oath for over 7 hours” and challenged lawmakers to hold another hearing “live on camera with all the Trump children and in laws.”
Biden also pushed back against criticism of his artwork, calling one accusation a “lie” and saying, “Every painting I ever sold while my Dad was President is public. Every single dollar accounted for.”
He also challenged Jared Kushner and Eric Trump to explain their foreign business dealings, saying, “I have nothing to hide do they?”
Trump Jr. Wedding Gift
President Donald Trump said Trump Jr. repaid Russian businessman Umar Kremlev for financing wedding-related celebrations in the Bahamas.
Trump called the arrangement “totally allowed,” while Trump Jr. and his wife said Kremlev provided the celebrations as a wedding gift and denied any political motive.
