Devon Archer Testifies on Hunter Biden’s Business Dealings

During his closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee, Devon Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden, revealed that Hunter Biden was selling the “illusion” of access to his father, according to a source familiar with the matter. This development has added fuel to the ongoing Republican-led congressional investigations into the business dealings of the President’s son.

Additionally, Archer stated that there is no evidence connecting President Joe Biden to any of Hunter Biden’s foreign business transactions, reiterating this point during his testimony before the committee. This provides further clarity on the lack of involvement by the President in his son’s business affairs.

Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat on the committee, who was present during Archer’s questioning by Republicans, emphasized that there is no evidence linking the President to his son’s foreign dealings. Goldman stated that although Hunter Biden did have conversations with his father on speakerphone in the presence of business partners, these conversations never involved any business matters.

This testimony from Archer comes at a time when House Republicans are shifting their focus from impeaching members of President Biden’s Cabinet to targeting the President himself by attempting to connect him to his son’s controversial business dealings. Consequently, investigations related to Hunter Biden are expected to take center stage in the House.

Goldman clarified that the conversations between President Biden and his son were not conflicts of interest as they were not conducted to further Hunter Biden’s business interests. He argued that it is unreasonable to suggest that a father cannot have casual conversations with the people his son is dining with and that this is the only evidence being presented to substantiate the claims.

In response to House Republicans’ inability to produce documentary evidence linking the President to his son’s business dealings, Goldman called the investigation a “complete waste of time” and urged for the focus to be shifted elsewhere.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, in recent weeks, expressed that Republicans have yet to confirm the most scandalous allegations against Joe Biden, such as engaging in a bribery scheme to benefit his son’s career. However, McCarthy has indicated that launching an impeachment inquiry could provide the opportunity to gather critical information, similar to the strategy employed by House Democrats during the impeachment of former President Donald Trump in 2019.

McCarthy, who has sought advice from former House GOP Speaker Newt Gingrich on this matter, has shown a growing inclination towards going after the President himself rather than his Cabinet members. He recently issued a stronger warning to Biden, suggesting that the investigations into the Biden family’s business deals may escalate into an impeachment inquiry by House Republicans.

Recently, the Department of Justice (DOJ) requested that Archer surrender to prison and begin serving his one-year sentence for an unrelated fraud conviction. Some Republicans immediately speculated that the Biden administration was attempting to prevent Archer from answering questions about Hunter Biden before the committee. However, the DOJ explicitly requested that Archer’s sentence start after his congressional testimony concludes.

Archer’s attorney released a statement stating that they do not believe the DOJ request is linked to the upcoming closed-door interview. They will continue to fight demands related to scheduling Archer’s surrender date and confirmed that Archer will show up and honestly answer the committee’s questions.

While House Oversight Chairman James Comer called the timing of the DOJ’s letter “odd,” some House Republicans reacted more strongly to the request, questioning the motives behind it.
