This is the best summary I could come up with:
House Republican Greg Murphy was challenged on CNN after saying he would vote to hold Hunter and James Biden in contempt if they fail to turn up after being subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee, despite voting against holding Steve Bannon in contempt when he failed to testify before the January 6 committee.
This forms part of an ongoing impeachment investigation into Biden, who Republicans allege traded political favors for financial payments to members of his family.
Comer has claimed to have "mountains of evidence" against Biden, though Republicans faced mockery after it emerged the transfer of $200,000 from James to Joe Biden in 2018, which had been touted as a key piece of evidence, was in fact a loan repayment.
Berman then noted Murphy had voted against holding Bannon in contempt after he refused to testify before the January 6 committee in 2021, which led to the conviction of the former president's ex-chief White House strategist the following year.
In response, Murphy again accused Biden of influence peddling, before suggesting the difference Hunter and James have with Bannon is the latter isn't related to the former president, whereas the former are to the incumbent.
Despite Comer's criticism of Biden for loaning his brother $200,000 in 2018, The Daily Beast has since claimed the Republican committee chair engaged in a similar practice, swapping land with his brother related to their family farming business with one loan for $200,000 involving a shell company.
