Ee subpoena saying he would rather testify publicly. The morning. Mr. Biden will have a statement to make and will not be able to take any questions today. We appreciate you all being here. Good morning. Im here today to answer any legitimate questions the House Oversight committee may have for me. Im here today to make sure that the house committees legitimate investigations of my family do not proceed on distortions, manipulated evidence and lies. And i am here today to acknowledge ive made mistakes in my life. And wasted opportunities and privileges i was afforded. For that, i am responsible. For that, i am accountable. And for that, i am making amends. But im also here today to correct how they maga right has portrayed me for their political purposes. I am first and foremost a son, a father, a brother, and a husband, from a loving and supportive family. Im proud to have earned degrees from Georgetown University and yale law school. Im proud of my legal career and business career. Im proud of my time serving on a dozen different boards of directors. And i am proud of my efforts to forge Global Business relationships. For six for six years republicans have impugned my character, invaded my privacy, attacked my wife, my children, family and friends. They ridiculed my struggle with addiction, belittled my recovery and tried to dehumanize me to damage my father who devoted his entire public life to service. For six years i have been the target of unrelenting attack machine and heres my answer. I am here. Let me state my father was not involved in my business as a practicing lawyer or in my partnership with Chinese Private businessmen or my investments at home or abroad. During my battle with addiction my parents were there for me. They literally saved my life. Then they would never expect me to. In the depths of my addiction i was irresponsible with my finances. But to suggest that as grounds for impeachment is beyond absurd, it is shameless. There is no evidence to support allegations that my father was involved in my business because it did not happen. James comer, jim jordan, jason smith and their colleagues have distorted the facts cherry picking lines from a Bank Statement editing texts and stealing personal information from me. There is no fairness or decency in what republicans are doing. They have lied over and over again about every aspect of my personal and professional life so much so that their lives have become false facts believed by too many people. No matter how may times it is debunked they insist that my fathers support of ukraine is a result of nonexistent bribes. They displayed naked photos of me during an oversight hearing and have taken the light of my dads love, the light of my dads love for me and presented it as darkness. They have no shame. These same Committee Chairman have engaged in unprecedented political interference in what would have been a five year investigation of me. Yet here i am mr. Chairman, taking up your offer when you said we can bring these people in for depositions or committee hearings, whichever they choose. I have chosen. I am here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any legitimate questions. Republicans do not want an open process where americans can see their taxes, expose their baseless in query or hear what i have to say. What are they afraid of . I am here, im ready
