Committee \u200cleadership is \u200dnow\u200d grappling with\u200b what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>Oversight Chairman James Comer \u2063(R-KY) issued a subpoena in June for Archer\u2063 to appear for a\u2062 deposition as part \u2062of the committee&#8217;s investigation into the Biden\u2062 family&#8217;s finances. However, Archer missed\u200d the \u200doriginal deadline of June 16 and has\u200c since canceled on the committee\u200d two more \u2064times. Comer revealed \u200bthis \u200cinformation to the Washington Examiner on Thursday,\u200d expressing the committee&#8217;s\u2063 dilemma in compelling Archer\u200b to testify.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Students\u2062 for DeSantis\u200d Expands to 100 Campuses Nationwide<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A spokesperson for the committee stated, &#8220;Our teams\u2062 remain in communication and are working on a date&#8221; regarding Archer&#8217;s \u200ddeposition.<\/p>\n<p>In the subpoena sent to Archer, Comer emphasized the importance\u2063 of his testimony, \u200cstating \u2063that he possesses crucial information relevant to the \u200bcommittee&#8217;s investigation. Comer&#8217;s letter to Archer&#8217;s lawyer\u2064 highlighted their association as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-gives-pardons-to-73-individuals-and-commutes-another-70-sentences-steve-bannon-is-included\/\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump Gives Pardons to 73 Individuals and Commutes Another 70 Sentences \u2013 Steve Bannon Is Included\">business partners<\/a> and Archer&#8217;s involvement in transactions with foreign nationals and companies. The committee is particularly interested in Archer&#8217;s knowledge \u200cof the Biden family&#8217;s role in various corporate entities and\u2064 his access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hes-a-serial-sexual-predator-majority-in-ny-state-assembly-support-impeachment-if-cuomo-doesnt-resign\/\" title=\"\u2018He\u2019s A Serial Sexual Predator\u2019: Majority In NY State Assembly Support Impeachment If Cuomo Doesn\u2019t Resign\">relevant documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Archer and Hunter \u200cBiden worked together at the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm before both joining the board\u2062 of Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company, in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>However, Archer&#8217;s reputation took a hit in \u200c2018 when he\u2063 was convicted in connection to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-investigation-former-burisma-board-member-has-canceled-his-deposition-three-times\/\" title=\"Former Burisma board member cancels deposition three times in Biden investigation.\">fraudulent bond scheme involving<\/a> \u2063a Native American\u2063 tribe.

These are the areas currently under investigation by the committee.<\/p>\n<p>The Oversight Committee is\u200b specifically focused on allegations made\u2062 by a paid FBI informant that Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma,\u200c paid $5 million each to then Vice\u200c President Joe\u200d Biden and Hunter Biden\u2063 to\u200b influence the Ukrainian \u200bgovernment&#8217;s decision to \u200dfire a prosecutor investigating Burisma.<\/p>\n<p>An FBI \u2062document, released by Sen.
