President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden is speaking out following his indictment on tax and gun charges.
Addressing reporters in Washington, D.C., Hunter Biden said he’s prepared to answer questions from House Republicans — but reiterated that he would only do so in public.
Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee last month subpoenaed Hunter Biden to sit for a closed-door deposition today as part of the committee’s probe into President Joe Biden and his family.
In response, Hunter Biden said he was willing to testify before the panel — but only in a public forum.
“I am here to testify at a public hearing today, to answer the committee’s questions,” Hunter Biden said Wednesday.
“What are they afraid of? I’m here, I’m ready,” he said.
He spoke for less than ten minutes, but packed plenty of punches on House Republicans, saying “They have no shame.”

“There is no fairness or decency” in their probe, he said. “They’ve lied over and over again.”
“They’ve invaded my privacy, attacked my wife and children … tried to dehumanize me and embarrass and damage my father.”
Hunter Biden acknowledged that he’s made mistakes in his personal life, “but to suggest it’s grounds for an impeachment inquiry is absurd.”
He did not take questions.
