Devon Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden, appeals fraud case to Supreme Court.
Former Business Associate of Hunter Biden Appeals Conviction to Supreme Court
Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, is taking his conviction for defrauding a Native American tribe to the highest court in the land. In 2018, Archer was sentenced to a year and one day in prison for fraudulently issuing and selling tribal bonds worth over $60 million. Now, he is appealing to the Supreme Court, claiming that he needs new legal counsel.
“This Court should grant review to clarify this important and recurring principle of criminal procedure to ensure that clear, unwaived, and fundamental errors do not go uncorrected,” Archer’s attorneys wrote in the filing.
Archer’s appeal centers around a criminal procedure rule that allows federal judges to order a new trial “if the interest of justice so requires.” His attorneys want the Supreme Court to determine the extent of this rule.
This is not the first time Archer has appealed to the Supreme Court. In 2021, he requested a new trial, and now he is also asking the justices to reexamine his sentencing, claiming that it was based on a miscalculation of federal sentencing guidelines.
It’s important to note that Hunter Biden is not implicated in this case. However, if Archer’s appeal is successful, he could avoid serving the remainder of his prison sentence.
In addition to his prison sentence, Archer was also required to pay $15.7 million and $43.4 million in restitution.
Archer gained media attention after testifying before the House Oversight Committee about Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
