Archer confirmed 20 Biden speakerphone calls, Democrat downplays talks.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) Reveals Testimony from Devon Archer
During a recent hearing, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) shared some intriguing details about the relationship between Hunter Biden and his father, President Joe Biden. According to Goldman, Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, testified that there were instances where Hunter would put his father on speakerphone around business associates and friends.
The Phone Calls
Goldman stated that on approximately 20 occasions over a span of 10 years, Hunter Biden would call President Joe Biden daily and engage in conversations with him. These conversations would often take place in the presence of business associates or friends. However, Goldman emphasized that there was no discussion of business matters during these calls.
The Nature of the Conversations
According to Archer’s testimony, the conversations between the Bidens and their business associates were purely casual. They would discuss topics such as the weather and general pleasantries. There was no mention of any business dealings involving Hunter Biden.
Goldman further explained, ”[Hunter Biden] would often put his father, occasionally would put his father on to say hello to whomever he happened to be caught at dinner with. And Mr. Archer clarified that it was sometimes people they were trying to do business with, and it was sometimes friends or other social engagements.”
Joe Biden’s Stance
Joe Biden and the White House have consistently maintained that the president never discussed any business matters with his son. This testimony seems to align with their claims.
The Partnership and Conviction
Hunter Biden and Devon Archer had a working relationship for several years. They both served on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma in 2014. Additionally, they worked together at the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm.
It is worth noting that Archer faced legal consequences in 2018. He was convicted in connection to a fraudulent bond scheme involving a Native American tribe and was sentenced to over a year in prison in 2022.
Allegations and Unverified Claims
Goldman also mentioned that Archer testified that Burisma executives were not concerned about Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin due to Hunter Biden’s presence on their board. These allegations were also mentioned in the FBI-generated FD-1023, where Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma, claimed to have paid $5 million to both Hunter Biden and his father to influence the Ukrainian government’s decision to fire Shokin. However, it is important to note that these allegations remain unverified.
No Connection to President Biden’s Business Dealings
Goldman concluded by stating, “I think it is safe to say that after yet another two hours, there still is no connection of any of Hunter Biden’s business dealings with President Biden.” This statement suggests that the testimony provided by Archer did not establish any link between Hunter Biden’s business activities and his father, President Joe Biden.
Archer’s testimony is set to continue for another two hours under Democratic questioning.
