'How weird is that?' Fox host baffled by James Comer skipping out on Hunter Biden hearing
March 01, 2024
Fox News host Steve Doocy came perilously close to having a revelation about the House Republican impeachment inquiry into president Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden appeared this week before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees for a closed-door deposition, where he told lawmakers he had never involved his father in his foreign business dealings. The "Fox & Friends" host was confused why Rep. James Comer (R-KY), who's leading the inquiry, did not appear to participate.
"The odd thing to me, speaking of Republicans, is James Comer, who ran that committee, he apparently left the hearing early and did not ask a single question," Doocy said. "How weird is that?"
"Huh," agreed co-host Ainsley Earhardt. "Very strange."
The younger Biden dropped his demand to testify publicly after Republicans threatened to hold him in contempt, but Doocy could not fathom why Comer did not leap at the chance to question him.
"He's been calling for him to come in — 'We want Hunter Biden,'" Doocy said. "He didn't ask him a single question."

Republicans have been investigating the Biden family's business dealings for more than a year and, despite conducting dozens of interviews and combing through more than 100,000 documents, they have not produced any direct evidence of misconduct by the president.
An FBI informant who had told congressional investigators about an alleged bribery scheme involving the family has been charged with making up the story, and he admitted that he had been working with officials linked to Russian intelligence.
Hunter Biden has pleaded not guilty to firearm charges in Delaware and failure to pay taxes charges in federal court.
