Hunter Biden abruptly reversed his defiance of House Republican impeachment investigators, offering to testify before them privately after insisting he would only answer their questions in public.
Biden’s lawyer made the offer in a letter Friday just two days after the presidential son showed up at a meeting of a House committee voting on a contempt recommendation against him, a move aimed at underscoring his bid to address questions publicly.
