Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, appeared for a closed-door deposition as part of an impeachment inquiry regarding his overseas business dealings.
The investigation focused on his work with Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
Testimonies suggest Joe Biden’s alleged involvement in his son’s business, which both have denied.
🚨 Matt Gaetz says Hunter Biden claims he joined the Burisma board to counter Russian aggression.

“Biden has met with nearly all of his son’s foreign business associates as they were collectively funneling millions to the Bidens,” Rep. James Comer said.
Hunter Biden stated he joined Burisma to counter Russian aggression, a claim met with skepticism.
The deposition revealed contentious moments, with Rep. Gaetz questioning the legitimacy of Hunter Biden’s international business engagements.
Gaetz noted there were multiple interesting moments, “but perhaps none more interesting than when Hunter Biden told us that he joined the Burisma board ‘to counter Russian aggression.”
“I hadn’t heard that one before!” Gaetz said.
“Thank goodness we had Hunter Biden on the Burisma board because that was essential to his strategy to stand up to Vladimir Putin,” Gaetz added.
“Yeah we’ve asked those questions, and there is an illusory value,” he said when questioned regarding Hunter Biden’s perceived value which he provided to the companies.
“It’s a mirage to believe that Hunter Biden was engaged in international business,” Gaetz said.
“This was a bribe masquerading as an international business transaction. Nothing more, nothing less,” he added.
Hunter Biden said Republicans “hunted” him in their “partisan political pursuit of my dad.”
“You have trafficked in innuendo, distortion, and sensationalism — all the while ignoring the clear and convincing evidence staring you in the face. You do not have evidence to support the baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn’t any,” he added.
