Jim Jordan and James Comer: We 'will not tolerate any additional stunts' from Hunter Biden
January 12, 2024
No more of your shenanigans, Hunter Biden. That’s the stern message from Republican Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan who wrote a very strongly worded letter Friday.
This moratorium on malarkey arrived after President Joe Biden’s legally beleaguered son agreed through attorneys Friday to submit to a House subpoena, amid threats they’d hold him in contempt.
“While we will work to schedule a deposition date, we will not tolerate any additional stunts or delay from Hunter Biden,” the pair wrote.
In their preemptive mishegoss quash, the pair noted they will also pursue a contempt of Congress resolution against Hunter Biden until they set a date for a private deposition.

The private nature of the deposition is exactly what Hunter Biden protested when he appeared on Capitol Hill on Dec. 13 and in a chaotic House Oversight committee hearing Wednesday.
Hunter professed himself willing to testify publicly to the House Republicans probing his father on financial corruption allegations they have, as of yet, been unable to prove.
But Biden stormed out of the committee hearing Wednesday when faced with a lecture from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia Republican whose antics include putting his nude photos on display for everyone.
Her graphic evidence disputed a claim from Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to Hunter Biden that he “had no b----.”
This embargo on tomfoolery will likely come as welcome news to critics who say the House of Representatives — where members hurl smurf insults and alleged sucker punches at one another — has become a “clown show."
