Hunter Biden is scheduled to sit for a private deposition with the House Oversight Committee this week. However, the date was set before the arrest of the committee's key witness, Alexander Smirnoff. Smirnoff, a former FBI informant, has been indicted for lying about the Biden family and their alleged dealings in Ukraine and has been arrested twice.
The impeachment investigation has faced challenges as Smirnoff's credibility has come into question. The arrest of a central witness has raised doubts about the basis for proceeding with Hunter Biden's deposition. Legal analyst Norm Eisen highlighted concerns about the impeachment inquiry, stating that there is no evidence of wrongdoing by President Joe Biden.
