Hunter Biden made rare public comments Wednesday. The president’s son defied a subpoena from House Republicans and instead spoke to press in front of the Capitol.

Hunter Biden: “For six years I’ve been the target of the unrelenting Trump attack machine shouting ’Where’s Hunter?’ Well, here’s my answer: I am here. Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business, not as a practicing lawyer, not as a board member of Burisma, not in my partnership with a Chinese private businessman, not in my investments at home nor abroad, and certainly not as an artist.”

Republicans said they would move to hold Hunter Biden in contempt for defying their summons. Hunter Biden has said he is willing to testify at a public hearing, rather than a closed-door testimony.
