Jonathan Ernst/ReutersNo one is trying to put Hunter Biden’s former business partner behind bars before he can testify in front of a key House committee on Monday—but that hasn’t stopped some Republicans from speculating wildly about the situation following a development in an unrelated court case.
The strange saga began on Saturday when the Department of Justice sent an administrative request to a Manhattan judge asking her to set a date for Devon Archer to report to prison in a case entirely unrelated to his role as Biden’s buddy and longtime international business partner. (Last year, Archer was sentenced to serve a year and a day in prison after being convicted on felony charges of defrauding a Native American tribe. Biden was not implicated in the scheme.)
The request—penned by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York—came two days before Archer is expected to sit for closed-door testimony with the House Oversight Committee. As Republicans continue to expand their inquiry into Hunter Biden, Archer is expected to provide details related to the president’s son’s business dealings in Ukraine, sources told ABC News this week.
