When Devon Archer sits down on Monday with the House Oversight Committee, the Hunter Biden investigation could enter a new and more significant phase.
That’s because Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden’s and a former friend to the family, is expected to testify about the extent of President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings, potentially roping the president more deeply into a scandal he has thus far studiously avoided.Archer will be the closest business associate of Hunter Biden’s to speak with Congress to date.
Archer is expected to tell congressional investigators that Hunter Biden frequently put his father on speakerphone to talk to Burisma officials at the height of his lobbying work for the Ukrainian company. Hunter Biden attempted to claim the money as a loan, avoiding the obligation to pay any taxes on the income. But Archer claimed the money as a business expense, Shapley testified, indicating that there was never an expectation that Hunter Biden intended to repay the money.
“[T]here were some issues prevalent that were brought up related to Devon Archer and his credibility,” Ziegler told the House Ways and Means Committee. “So, also having a potential witness there, was also a problem.”
