Back in October 2021, President Joe Biden declared his position pertaining to defiance against a subpoena from the January 6 House Select Committee, stating that such refusal ought to lead to prosecution. Consequently, the refusal of his son, Hunter Biden, to comply with a congressional subpoena on a Wednesday appeared to challenge his father's decree.

This defiance came in the form of Hunter Biden opting for a press conference on Capitol Hill rather than attending his deposition before the House Oversight Committee as commanded.

President Biden's declaration in 2021, emphasizing legal consequences for those who defy subpoenas from the January 6 House Select Committee, recalled as the time when the Justice Department indicted Steve Bannon for a similar act in November 2021. Legal experts are now pointing out that while Hunter Biden could face similar consequences, for various reasons, it may not be the case.

The Biden Justice Department's decision to prosecute or not lies in the intricacies of the situation. Hunter Biden, rather than attending the deposition, held a press conference on Capitol Hill. Philip Holloway, a criminal defense attorney and legal analyst, shared his views on this with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Holloway opined that the application of law must be universal for it to hold any weight. According to him, 'Hunter Biden needs to be held to the same standard as other recent people who have thumbed their noses at congressional subpoenas.' He further strengthened his argument by highlighting how Hunter Biden's press conference on Capitol Hill symbolized a blatant show of defiance towards the House of Representatives.
