During a House Oversight Committee hearing focused on alleged corruption involving President Biden's family, particularly in relation to foreign business dealings, an empty chair marked the absence of Hunter Biden, despite his previous requests for a public hearing. Multiple tweets from politicians and news sources highlighted Hunter Biden's failure to appear at the hearing, where ex-business partners were expected to detail the Biden family's involvement in foreign business deals. The incident sparked criticism from several Republican Congress members, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Lauren Boebert, who accused Hunter Biden of avoiding the hearing and suggested that a tendency to hide was characteristic of the Biden family. Rep. Greene explicitly stated Hunter Biden 'chickened out,' emphasizing his deliberate absence.
