    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    House Republicans allege that President Biden and his family engaged in an “influence peddling” scheme and took payments from foreign adversaries.

    The White House has repeatedly dismissed the impeachment inquiry — with claims dating back before Biden was president — as a political charade.

    It’s occurring as Biden’s predecessor and likely opponent in the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump, faces dozens of criminal charges in several indictments, including for attempts to subvert the 2020 election.

    In a rare press conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, Biden told reporters that he is willing to testify in a public hearing, but not behind closed doors.

    Comer and Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said in a statement that Biden “defied lawful subpoenas” by failing to appear, and that they would now "initiate contempt of Congress proceedings.

    Hunter Biden accused House Republicans of “cherry-picking lines from a bank statement, manipulating texts I sent, editing the testimony of my friends and former business partners, and misstating personal information that was stolen from me.”
