Hunter Biden’s refusal to comply with the subpoena has led to accusations against Swalwell of “aiding and abetting.”

“Hunter Biden refusing to show up today is unacceptable… Hunter Biden is clearly trying to hide and cover up the money laundering and the abuse of power that he and his father are guilty of.”
