Andrew Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court Judge and legal analyst, speculated on Newsmax about potential reasons behind Hunter Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, visiting the White House shortly before Hunter Biden was scheduled to appear before Congress.
Napolitano suggested that this visit might indicate some form of coordination or preparation related to Hunter Biden’s testimony. The context of Lowell’s visit was officially for a Hanukkah celebration, according to the White House.
However, Napolitano raised questions about whether the timing of the visit was also used for discussions regarding Hunter Biden’s impending congressional appearance, where he initially refused to respond to a subpoena but later gave a speech on Capitol Hill.

Napolitano’s comments reflect ongoing scrutiny and speculation about the interactions between Hunter Biden’s legal team and the White House, especially in light of the sensitive nature of the testimonial proceedings involving the president’s son.
He hypothesized that the lawyer’s visit could have involved preparing President Biden for potential testimony or aligning on what could be said if the president were needed to testify, though this is purely speculative.
The White House has maintained that no matters involving Hunter Biden were discussed during the visit, and any discussions that took place were unrelated to the congressional hearings.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that President Biden was aware of what his son would say during his testimony, which suggests at least some level of prior knowledge or preparation.
This situation illustrates the complex intertwining of legal, personal, and political considerations when family members of a sitting president are involved in legal proceedings or congressional testimonies.
It also highlights how such events are subject to public and media scrutiny, where actions and timings can often be interpreted in various ways depending on the observer’s perspective.
