    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden surprised members of the House Oversight Committee Wednesday when he made an unannounced appearance at a hearing on a resolution to hold him in contempt of Congress for refusing to appear before the same committee.

    Hunter Biden refused last month to testify in a closed-door setting, despite a subpoena for him to appear.

    The younger Biden and his attorneys cited concerns that Republicans would distort his comments and offered instead to appear at a public hearing.

    Greene previously displayed nude photos of the president’s son in a hearing and responded to his departure by calling him a "coward.

    In a separate statement, Lowell accused Republicans of targeting his client as a surrogate for attacking the president.

    The committee continued without the unscheduled star witness in a hearing that devolved into lengthy disagreements between members over everything from the rules of procedure to personal bickering.
