... Cruz (or any other Republican) exactly how Hunter Biden's testimony would be in any way relevant to the proceedings.

I understand the motive - i.e. hoping to make this about Bidens instead of Trump. But I'd like to hear the GOP explain how either Biden could possibly have any knowledge about the events, actions, or behaviour of those involved.

A subpoena has to set out, in detail, why an individual's testimony is being compelled and how it is directly relevant to the case at hand.

What could the Republicans say? "He's got no connection to any of this, but we want him to testify anyway."

Not a viable legal argument by any stretch.
