Hunter Biden has agreed to a private deposition before House Republicans on February 28, putting an end to months of defiance from the president’s son who had insisted on testifying publicly, Associated Press reports.
The House Oversight Committee announced the agreement, stating that Hunter Biden will be a key witness in the investigation into his overseas business dealings. The president’s son had insisted on testifying publicly, but the agreement allows for a private deposition, with the possibility of a subsequent public testimony.
The move concludes contentious negotiations between Hunter Biden and Republicans, who have sought to connect his business activities to his father. Hunter Biden is currently facing criminal charges related to firearm counts in Delaware and allegations of failing to pay taxes.
