Hunter Biden offered to testify publicly in response to Republican demands he answer questions about his business dealings.

Biden attorney Abbe Lowell released a letter Tuesday offering to testify publicly before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee on Dec. 13, or “any date in December that we can arrange.”

House Republicans’ efforts to impeach President Joe Biden have focused primarily on accusations that the president improperly benefited from his son’s business dealings.

Republican investigators have turned up evidence Hunter Biden used his family name to secure business deals but they have not found proof the president used his government positions to further his family’s business ventures.

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer in November subpoenaed Hunter Biden to testify in a closed session. But Lowell said Biden would testify publicly to prevent his answers from being distorted.

“We have seen you use closed door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public. We therefore propose opening the door,” Lowell said in the letter.

A committee spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The White House previously called on House Republicans to withdraw subpoenas and interview requests related to their impeachment push, calling the effort illegitimate and politically motivated.
