Comer announces 'next phase' of impeachment inquiry to address Hunter Biden's 'contradictory statements'

House Republicans revealed on Wednesday that they plan to hold a public hearing on their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, an announcement that came just as a closed-door deposition with their most high-profile witness, Hunter Biden, concluded.

The first son made “some contradictory statements that I think need further review,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) told reporters. “So this impeachment inquiry will now go to the next phase, which will be a public hearing.”
