U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) criticized Hunter Biden's absence and behavior during a House Oversight Committee meeting, which was held to discuss his refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena. The meeting centered on the possibility of recommending contempt proceedings against Biden for his non-compliance with the House impeachment inquiry.

Greene voiced her disapproval in no uncertain terms: "Hunter Biden looked like an absolute joke, a fool, and a toddler having a temper tantrum when he got caught for being in trouble," she said. "Hunter ran away from me because he’s afraid. But he’s not just afraid of me, he’s afraid of the truth."

Fox News reported that House GOP members accused Biden of openly defying a congressional order by hosting a press conference at the Capitol on the day he was scheduled to testify before Congress. According to their report, Biden and his legal team made an unexpected appearance at the House Oversight Committee meeting. This meeting was convened to discuss a resolution suggesting contempt proceedings due to his refusal to comply with a subpoena related to the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Despite being present during the lawmakers' discussion on the resolution, Biden and his attorneys, Abbe Lowell and Kevin Morris, left before the committee could vote on the matter.

In parallel news from Fox News, it is reported that the House Judiciary Committee is conducting its own review on the proposal suggesting Biden's contempt of Congress. If this contempt resolution progresses out of committees, insiders have suggested that there might be a potential full House floor vote for contempt of Congress shortly afterwards. During this session, lawmakers noted Biden's presence in the audience. The House's impeachment inquiry against President Biden was officially established by Representatives Comer, Jordan, and House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO).

USA Today reported that as Greene began speaking during these proceedings, Biden exited. These votes - although they carry no penalties - represent a public denouncement of Biden from the House GOP. The full House may proceed to vote on suggesting criminal charges by the Justice Department, but prospects for such charges against President Biden's son appear unlikely under the current administration.
