Hunter Biden Makes Unexpected Appearance at Contempt of Congress Hearing

WASHINGTON—Hunter Biden faces a potential third criminal prosecution that could coincide with his father’s campaign for another White House term, with a pair of House committees on Wednesday planning to take initial steps to hold him in contempt of Congress.

The president’s son showed up unexpectedly to the hearing on whether he should be held in contempt of Congress for ignoring a subpoena, angering some Republican lawmakers who felt the appearance was a political stunt.
