The transcript of Hunter Biden’s much-anticipated impeachment inquiry interview shows a combative first son defensive of his business practices and his father, but also includes confirmation of key details unearthed by the Oversight Committee.
he House Oversight Committee on Thursday released the full transcript of Hunter Biden’s long-awaited testimony in the ongoing impeachment inquiry into his father.
In his opening statement, Hunter Biden insisted that his father had nothing to do with his business ventures, one of the central pillars of the House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
“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, 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,” Hunter Biden said.

Hunter Biden then confirmed that Devon Archer’s testimony that he put his father on speakerphone between 10 and 20 times during their 15 year business relationship was likely accurate.
