DOJ clarifies prison letter for Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner after controversy.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is making headlines once again. In a surprising move, the DOJ requested that Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Devon Archer, begin his prison sentence. However, they were quick to assure everyone that this would not interfere with Archer’s scheduled testimony before a House committee on Monday.
Concerns were raised by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee about the timing of the DOJ’s request. United States Attorney Damian Williams addressed these concerns in a second letter to a judge in the Southern District of New York. He emphasized that the DOJ does not want Archer to surrender before his Congressional testimony.
Williams explained that the process of surrendering and commencing a prison sentence could take weeks or even months. To avoid any confusion, he requested that any surrender date be scheduled after Archer’s testimony is complete.
Devon Archer, a former adviser to John Kerry’s presidential campaign, was convicted in a fraud scheme but had his prison sentence delayed due to the appeals process. The timing of the DOJ’s request raised eyebrows among Republicans, with Oversight Chairman James Comer finding it ”odd” that it was sent over the weekend and right before Archer’s appearance before the committee.
Despite the skepticism surrounding the DOJ’s motives, Archer’s attorney confirmed that he plans to testify before the House Oversight Committee as scheduled. However, some members of the committee remain wary of the DOJ’s actions.
Representative Mike Johnson expressed concerns about witness intimidation and obstruction, while Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene questioned the DOJ’s sudden workload on the weekend. The situation continues to unfold, leaving many wondering what the DOJ is truly worried about.
