DOJ requests sentencing date for Hunter Biden’s ex-partner before testimony.
The Justice Department Calls for Former Business Partner of Hunter Biden to Report to Prison
The Justice Department has made a bold move by requesting a judge to order Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devon Archer, to report to prison. Archer is scheduled to testify about alleged past criminal business dealings involving President Joe Biden on Monday. This request comes after Archer was convicted of defrauding a Native American tribe and various investment advisory clients of tens of millions of dollars. Despite appeals from his legal counsel, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York is pushing for Archer to begin his prison term.
Archer’s Testimony and the DOJ’s Request
Archer, who served as a director of Ukrainian energy company Burisma alongside Hunter Biden, is expected to testify before the House Oversight Committee on Monday. He plans to reveal that Hunter had numerous phone conversations with then-Vice President Joe Biden while discussing foreign business partnerships and investments. However, Judge Ronnie Abrams is not expected to make a decision on the DOJ’s request before Archer testifies.
Response from Archer’s Counsel
Archer’s legal counsel has dismissed the DOJ’s request as premature, citing ongoing appeals and a newly-discovered sentencing error. They plan to respond to the government’s request by Wednesday. However, DOJ officials disagree with the counsel’s position and believe a report date should be set.
Matthew Schwartz, Archer’s attorney, has stated that the DOJ’s request is not connected to Archer’s sentencing or the timing of the filing. He also dismissed speculation that the Biden administration is attempting to intimidate Archer before his meeting with the House Oversight Committee. Schwartz emphasized that Archer will fulfill his civic duty and honestly answer the committee’s questions.
Archer’s Significance in Biden Family Business Deals
Oversight Chair James Comer has previously stated that Archer played a significant role in the Biden family’s business deals abroad, including China, Russia, and Ukraine. Archer’s testimony is seen as crucial in shedding light on these deals.
Archer’s Motivation to Testify
An associate of Archer’s has revealed that he is testifying out of a sense of civic duty. Archer believes he has nothing to hide and wants to speak the truth in a forum where he has immunity. He feels that the fraud case against him has forced him into silence, and he wants to break free from those constraints.
President Biden has consistently denied any involvement in his son’s foreign business dealings.
