Archer’s testimony implicates Biden in FARA violation: Comer.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Reacts to Devon Archer’s Testimony
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) responded to Devon Archer’s testimony on Monday, calling it a “huge step towards implicating Joe Biden” in violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, testified before the House Oversight staff, revealing that the Biden family, particularly then-Vice President Joe Biden, played a crucial role in keeping Burisma afloat. During his testimony, Archer also disclosed that Biden had attended dinners with Hunter Biden’s business partners and had frequent phone conversations with them.

“We have evidence in this sworn testimony that a fellow Burisma board member pressured Hunter to immediately get on the phone with his father,” Comer shared with Hannity. “The evidence continues to mount, and today we saw Joe Biden lying to the American people. He knew exactly who his son was receiving those millions and millions of dollars from, and he had direct communication with them.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) also joined Hannity and dismissed Democrats’ claim that any conversation between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden was “an illusion.” He emphasized that Archer’s testimony shed “a whole new light on what happened last week” when Hunter’s plea deal fell apart.
“The deal was specifically designed to keep Burisma out of it. Remember, they weren’t going to charge for the 2014-2015 tax years,” Jordan explained. “They were avoiding felony charges because that money came from Burisma.”
Comer further highlighted that Archer testified that those involved with Burisma were engaged in “influence peddling.”
“Today, we heard from an insider: it was influence peddling. They were selling Joe Biden. That was their business. And Joe Biden himself spoke to every single person who wired money to the Bidens,” Comer stated.
“We know Hunter Biden has violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act — even the judge in Delaware last week cited that as one reason for rejecting the ‘sweetheart’ plea deal. But what this testimony did today, in my opinion, is open the door: Did Joe Biden also violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act?”
“Joe Biden was an active participant in at least one deal we know of with Burisma,” Comer asserted. “He actively participated and provided a benefit to this foreign agent for a foreign country, all while withholding American tax dollars in the form of foreign aid. This is a very serious matter.”

Comer added that Archer’s testimony marked “a significant step towards implicating Joe Biden in many of these crimes,” and he pledged to continue pushing forward with the investigation.
Hunter Biden recently pleaded not guilty to federal charges, despite having an initial plea deal with the Department of Justice. The original deal involved pleading guilty to two tax misdemeanors to avoid a felony gun charge. However, concerns raised by the judge overseeing the case led to a delay in the proceedings.
