Hunter Biden witness Devon Archer just days ahead of his hotly
anticipated congressional testimony, court documents reveal.
date for Archer to begin his one-year sentence in a fraud case which is unrelated
to Hunter's various scandals. The request came less than a week after the Second
Court of Appeals upheld Archer's 2018 conviction on two felony charges for his
role in a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe.
Archer is scheduled to testify on Monday in front of the House Oversight
Committee.
As the NY Post notes;
Archer — who is set to deliver closed-door testimony to the House OversightCommittee on Monday about Biden — had been challenging the conviction.
His attorney, Matthew Schwartz, said he would be filing a formal response to
the request from the US Attorney’s Office by Wednesday — and noted that
his client would still testify as planned despite allegations the DOJ letter
was an intimidation tactic.
...
Back in 2009, Archer, Biden, and Christopher Heinz co-founded investment
and advisory firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, which the first son used as a
vehicle for many of his overseas business endeavors.
Archer is expected to testify that Hunter Biden would dial-in his father,
then-Vice President Joe Biden during various meetings with overseas
partners, as The Post exclusively reported.
"We are aware of speculation that the Department of Justice’s weekend request
to have Mr. Archer report to prison is an attempt by the Biden administration
to intimidate him in advance of his meeting with the House Oversight
Committee," said Archer's attorney, Matthew Schwartz, adding that his
client will testify as planned despite allegations that the DOJ letter was
an intimidation tactic.
"To be clear, Mr. Archer does not agree with that speculation," Schwartz
added. "In any case, Mr. Archer will do what he has planned to do all along,
which is to show up on Monday and to honestly answer the questions that
are put to him by the Congressional investigators."
