U.S. President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden has declined an invitation to attend an open hearing before a Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives committee conducting an impeachment probe of his father, his lawyer said on Wednesday.
"Your blatant planned-for-media event is not a proper proceeding but an obvious attempt to throw a Hail Mary pass after the game has ended," attorney Abbe Lowell said. House Republicans had invited Hunter Biden as well as three of his former associates to a hearing on March 20 as part of
their inquiry .
House Republicans allege that the president and his family have improperly profited from policy decisions Biden participated in as vice president in 2009-17, but have not provided evidence of Biden financially benefiting. The White House has denied wrongdoing.
