staff to donald trump, mark meadows, very similar to hunter biden, negotiated in an attempt to resolve a subpoena dispute. in meadows' case doj chose not to proceed with criminal contempt, here hunter biden has offered no less than seven times by my count through his lawyers to find a compromise. that's not a very attractive factual posture for doj or even if doj charges, to put before a washington, d.c. judge and jury. so we'll see what happens, but there are some substantial arguments on hunter's side. >> hunter biden as we've all seen has taken a pretty aggressive approach to oppose republicans' efforts to get him to testify behind closed doors. as we saw this past week he showed up unannounced on capitol hill to show that he's willing to testify, but only publicly.
