The first son’s lawyers announced on Tuesday that Hunter is willing to testify in connection to the ongoing probe.
According to CNN, Hunter’s legal team sent the House Oversight Committee a letter and made it clear that President Biden’s son would only testify if the proceedings were made open to the public.
In the letter, Hunter's lawyers addressed the committee's use of closed-door sessions and accused the GOP-led panel of “manipulating facts” and “misinforming the public.”
The first son’s legal team proposed that the hearings should be open to “shed light” on the proceedings. They also emphasized that if the committee believes their efforts are “important” and involve issues that the American people should know about, then it is “crucial” to make them transparent.
“We have seen you use closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public,” Hunter’s team wrote. “We therefore propose opening the door.”
Hunter offered to testify but only if his testimony is made open to the public.
“If, as you claim, your efforts are important and involve issues that Americans should know about, then let the light shine on these proceedings,” they added.

The committee also recently subpoenaed an assistant United States attorney who is working on Hunter Biden's criminal case.
These developments came after whistleblowers within the Internal Revenue Service alleged political interference in the case – although the claims made by the whistleblowers were disputed by a high-ranking IRS official and the special counsel investigating Hunter, David Weiss.
Hunter's lawyer recently attacked the James Comer-led House Oversight Committee and called the panel's probe a "political stunt."
Hunter attorney, Abbe Lowell, has strongly criticized the Republican-led investigation. He described the probe as a "political stunt" based on "discredited conspiracies about the Biden family."
Lowell's letter further denounced the impeachment inquiry, and he argued that the focus should be on investigating former President Donald Trump and his family's business rather than targeting Hunter.
“Here we are, eleven months into your so-called investigation, and every objective review of your ‘revelations’ — including by some of your colleagues — has declared your exploration as one turning up only dry holes,” Hunter lawyers wrote on Tuesday.
“Your Committee has been working for almost a year—without success—to tie our client’s business activities to his father.”
