Hunter Biden’s ex-biz partner reveals Trump DOJ blueprint he would like to see after last-minute pardon
A former longtime friend and business partner of Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, has shared his thoughts on President Biden’s decision to pardon his son and called for the Trump Department of Justice to be impartial once again. Archer, who served on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma with Hunter, expressed optimism about the future of the DOJ under the Trump administration.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Archer sidestepped addressing the pardon directly and instead emphasized the importance of restoring the Justice Department to its founding principles of justice. He stressed the need for the DOJ to operate without personal or political agendas, as he believes has been the case in recent years.
Archer’s own legal troubles have included a criminal conviction for his alleged involvement in defrauding a Native American tribe. Despite his conviction being thrown out by a federal judge in 2018, it was reinstated by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in 2020, leading to a one-year prison sentence for Archer in February 2022.
President Biden announced on Sunday that he had pardoned Hunter Biden for offenses committed between 2014 and 2024, including during his time at Burisma. This decision has sparked controversy and criticism from Republicans who have long questioned the legitimacy of Hunter’s business dealings.
During a hearing before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Archer detailed the business connections between Joe and Hunter Biden, revealing phone calls made by the former vice president to promote “the brand.” Archer testified that Hunter’s involvement with Burisma was seen as valuable due to his connection to Joe Biden, and that the company may have faced financial difficulties without their association.
Democrats have defended Hunter Biden’s business dealings, with President Biden stating that his son was unfairly targeted and treated differently due to “raw politics.” Biden highlighted Hunter’s battle with addiction and emphasized the need to put an end to the attacks and selective prosecution against him.
As the controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s pardon continues to unfold, Devon Archer remains hopeful that the Trump DOJ will prioritize impartiality and adherence to federal laws. The future of the Justice Department under the new administration remains uncertain, but Archer’s call for justice and fairness serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the principles of justice and integrity.
