GOPer accuses Hunter Biden of 'blocking' Comer's investigation by offering to testify

Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) accused Hunter Biden of "blocking" Rep. James Comer's (R-KY) impeachment investigation by offering to testify in public.

During an interview on Newsmax, Cline suggested that the offer was a plot to stall the probe.

"Well, this committee is trying to get the facts, get to the bottom of the corruption that was going on in the Biden family between Hunter Biden and the rest of the family and exactly follow the money to where it leads, and they're preparing a report to give to the Judiciary Committee," Kline explained. "The Democrats are stalling. They've essentially sent the message to Hunter Biden that we will protect you if it's in public and for show."

Kline claimed Biden would not "have to give any facts" if he testifies publicly.

"You won't have to give any information as you would in a deposition because in a deposition, it takes hours and hours and hours," he remarked. "You ask the little questions that won't be kind of interfered with by counsel for the other side, by members from the other side who just want to play for the cameras."

"So that's what this is all about," Kline added. "It's about blocking, continuing to block Chairman Comer and this House of Representatives from finding out the facts for the American people."
