Manhattan prosecutors filed a request Saturday for a judge to set a date for Devon Archer to begin serving his year-long prison sentence. In 2018, the court convicted the man of defrauding an indigenous tribe. The Court of Appeal recently rejected Archer’s appeal and upheld the conviction.
Devon Archer was a close business partner and friend of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son, and served on the board of directors of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
The Republican-led Oversight Committee in the House of Representatives of Congress intends to hear from the man in a closed session on Monday in the investigation into the Biden family’s foreign business relations.
In a statement sent to Politico, Archer’s attorney, Matthew Schwartz, believes prosecutors were trying to intimidate his client, who will nonetheless attend Monday’s hearing.
In September 2020, Hunter Biden was accused of corruption, in which he traded millions of dollars between Russian, Ukrainian and Chinese citizens in his capacity as a member of the board of directors of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings. The US President’s son also left a laptop earlier, confirming the suspicions of other companies suspected of corruption.
In October 2020, we already wrote about the fact that, according to the FBI, sufficient evidence had been collected to indict the son of the US president on suspicion of tax and other crimes. In February of this year, the penultimate nail in Hunter’s case was hammered in, when his lawyers called on federal and state prosecutors to bring criminal charges against Hunter’s critics. This effectively admitted that the infamous laptop was indeed Hunter’s.
Meanwhile, Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, who is suspected of violating tax regulations and possessing illegal weapons, concluded an out-of-court agreement, according to court documents filed in Delaware on Tuesday. Hunter Biden thus avoids prosecution in court for actions punishable by up to 12 years in prison.
