Conservative firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went scorched earth on Hunter Biden this week, accusing the president’s son of evading a lawful subpoena for a deposition.
Greene blasted Hunter for conducting a press conference outside the Capitol, and refusing to comply with the subpoena issued by Chairman James Comer.
“Hunter Biden refusing to show up today is unacceptable,” Greene said.
“President Trump’s own children sat for hours and hours, seven, eight, nine hours each of them in front of Democrat-led committees.”
“Why is it a double standard for the Biden family?”
“Hunter Biden clearly is trying to hide and cover up the money laundering and the abuse of power that he and his father are guilty of.”
Watch
Rather than follow the lawful subpoena for a deposition issued by Chairman @RepJamesComer, Hunter Biden decided to play circus outside the Capitol this morning.

“What do you make of this press conference he had outside the front of the Capitol?” one reporter asked.
“Oh, I mean, he’s obviously guilty,” Greene replied.
“He went out there in front of the press and spread all of his lies, but he wouldn’t come in here under oath.”
“That’s someone that is clearly trying to hide the truth from the American people.”
“We were even willing to bring cameras in here for him today, but he refused to show up,” she said.
“He went out and played the show in front of the circus and then refused to come in here and follow the law, which he absolutely should do.”
As The Daily Fetched reported on Wednesday, Hunter Biden arrived in Washington DC, not to appear in a deposition before Congress, but instead to give a statement on the Capitol lawn where he called the committee’s investigation into his family’s shady business dealing as “illegitimate” while accusing “MAGA” of wrongly portraying for political purposes.
Hunter Biden said outside the Capitol:
“Here I am Mr. Chairman, taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose.”
“Well, I’ve chosen, I’m here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any of the committee’s legitimate questions.”
“Republicans do not want an open process where Americans can see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry, or hear what I have to say.”
“What are they afraid of? I’m here, I’m ready.”
