Biden slammed as Hannity shares POTUS' old clip advocating prosecution for defying congressional subpoena

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: After Hunter Biden declined to adhere to a congressional subpoena for a closed-door deposition from the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, an old video clip of Joe Biden resurfaced, garnering widespread attention.

In the video, a reporter questions Biden about his position on individuals who refuse to comply with congressional subpoenas.

This came after Hunter Biden demanded for a public testimony and gave a press conference at US Capitol Hill revealing that his father, Joe Biden was “not financially involved” in his business dealings.

He said, “I’m here today to make sure the House Committee’s illegitimate investigations of my family do not proceed on distortions, manipulated evidence, and lies.”

However, Hunter did not show up to his hearing.

Following this news, Fox News host Sean Hannity took to X (formerly Twitter) to slam Joe and share this with his followers.

Apparently, the internet also took a brutal jab at POTUS as several X users also blasted him.

Hannity’s tweet also featured an article from his official website titled, “FLASHBACK: Joe Says Anyone Who Defies Congressional Subpoena Should Be Prosecuted [WATCH].”

In the article, Hannity posted Joe Biden’s old clip where a reporter questioned POTUS what should happen to people who defy congressional subpoenas.

The reporter asked, “Do you have a message to people who defy congressional subpoenas on the January 6th committee?”

Biden responded, ‘I hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable.”

The reporter again asked, “Do you think they should be prosecuted by the Justice Department?”

POTUS said, “I do, yeah.”
