Devon Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden and fellow Burisma board member, met with then-Secretary of State John Kerry just weeks before Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was fired in 2016. The meeting took place less than four weeks before Shokin's dismissal, which occurred after Vice President Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid if Shokin wasn't fired. The content of the meeting between Archer and Kerry is unclear, but it is known that Burisma was under investigation at the time. Former Prosecutor General Shokin claims he was fired because of his investigation into Burisma, including Hunter Biden and Archer, while the White House maintains that Shokin was fired for being too soft on corruption.

President Joe Biden denied ever discussing business with his son Hunter, dismissing a question from Fox News' Peter Doocy as "lousy." This comes after Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter, testified that Joe Biden had been present on speakerphone or in-person around 20 times while Hunter was meeting with associates. Archer did not claim to have heard Joe Biden discussing business, but said that Hunter would use his father's presence to impress foreign executives. The House Oversight Committee also released a bank records memo detailing a $3.5 million wire transfer to a firm led by Hunter Biden, as well as a wire for the exact amount Hunter paid for a sports car, which came from a Kazakh oil oligarch.

Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer, is set to testify behind closed doors for the GOP-led House Oversight Committee. The Justice Department's request for Archer to surrender to prison and begin serving his one-year sentence in an unrelated fraud case has sparked speculation among Republicans that it is an attempt to prevent him from answering questions about Hunter Biden. However, the government explicitly stated that Archer's sentence should begin after his congressional testimony. House Republicans are shifting their focus to linking President Joe Biden to his son's controversial business dealings, with the apparent support of Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Archer is expected to testify that President Biden met with Hunter's business associates while he was vice president, contradicting the White House's claims that Biden was not involved in his son's business dealings. Archer's testimony comes after years of working alongside Hunter Biden, including serving on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings. The committee's investigation has revealed that the Biden family and its associates created multiple companies and received millions of dollars from foreign nationals while Joe Biden was vice president, potentially indicating attempts to "peddle influence."

Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer, is currently dealing with the Justice Department regarding when he should report to prison for unrelated charges. Archer was convicted in 2018 for his involvement in a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe, but his sentencing has been repeatedly delayed due to ongoing appeals. The Justice Department recently requested a prison reporting date, but Archer's attorney argued it was premature due to potential further appeals.
