A majority of Democrat voters believe President Joe Biden’s Justice Department should prosecute Hunter Biden after he failed to comply with a subpoenaed door deposition, a Harvard Caps/Harris poll reveals.
If lawmakers hold Hunter in contempt of Congress, upon DOJ prosecution and conviction, Hunter’s punishment could be up to a $100,000 fine and imprisonment.
Democrats, along with independents, support prosecuting Hunter Biden if held in contempt:
- Democrats: 54 percent support
- Republicans: 89 percent support
- Independents: 72 percent support
A vast majority of voters said Joe Biden’s DOJ should prosecute Hunter for not appearing:
- 71 percent support prosecution
- 29 percent oppose prosecution
- A deposition is a standard procedure used by congressional investigators. Democrats used depositions in their investigations regularly, including the Adam Schiff (D-CA) impeachment inquiry and the partisan January 6 Committee.
- House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) emphasized the importance of standard, closed-door depositions.
