WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans say Hunter Biden is in more trouble after defying a congressional subpoena to appear privately for a deposition with investigators digging into his business dealings. Biden insisted outside the Capitol on Wednesday he’ll only testify in public. Top Republicans say they’ll begin looking at contempt of Congress proceedings in response to Hunter Biden’s lack of cooperation. Hunter Biden says Republicans don’t want an open process allowing Americans to “see their tactics” and “expose their baseless inquiry.” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says President Joe Biden was familiar with what his son would say. She said the Bidens are proud of their son.  (Photo:  AP)
