House Republicans will issue a new round of subpoenas to Hunter Biden after he agreed Friday to sit for a closed-door deposition.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan wrote a letter Sunday to Abbe Lowell, Biden’s defense counsel, saying the committees are going to issue subpoenas for Biden to appear for a deposition at a later date. …

“For now, the House of Representatives will move forward with holding Hunter Biden in contempt of Congress until such time that Hunter Biden confirms a date to appear for a private deposition in accordance with his legal obligation,” the Republican lawmakers said in a joint statement.

[Bluff called? Lowell likely intended this concession as a stall tactic, as NRO’s Andrew McCarthy wrote yesterday. The two GOP chairs have effectively cut off that tactic by conditioning the end of the contempt process on an agreement to a firm date for the deposition to a new but apparently not superseding subpoena. Let’s see what Lowell does next. — Ed]
