Hunter Biden has agreed to sit for a deposition before the House Oversight Committee on February 28, the committee has announced. His testimony could be a high water mark for the more than year-long investigation into allegations of corruption in the Biden family and tee up President Biden’s  impeachment. 

The younger Mr. Biden has long resisted appearing for the closed-door deposition, where he will be questioned by skilled committee lawyers. The president’s son had instead insisted on only appearing publicly before the Oversight panel. During public hearings, members tend to grandstand with meandering statements and Mr. Biden would have Democratic committee members there to defend him.
