The committee is currently investigating President Joe \u2063Biden&#8217;s family and their business dealings.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounding\u200b Archer&#8217;s Testimony<\/h3>\n<p>Over the weekend, controversy erupted when the \u2064U.S. Attorney&#8217;s Office for the Southern District\u200c of New\u2063 York\u200c requested a trial\u200d judge to determine a date for Archer \u200cto report to prison. This request was related to an unrelated fraud conviction. The\u200d timing\u200b of this request\u200d has raised eyebrows and prompted House Republicans to call for their colleagues to return to Washington, D.C., despite Congress being in recess.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The DOJ is\u2063 now actively committing\u2064 the \u2064crime of obstructing a congressional investigation,&#8221; tweeted Rep. Matt\u200d Gaetz (R-FL). &#8220;If Devon Archer isn&#8217;t in the witness chair Monday, we better haul \u2062every \u200dSOB at \u2063the DOJ before Congress EVERY DAY to \u2062make them pay for this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>House Oversight\u200c Chairman James Comer (R-KY) also expressed his concerns about the timing of\u2063 the Department of Justice&#8217;s request \u200cduring a Fox News appearance\u200b on Sunday.<\/p>\n<h3>Archer&#8217;s Evading Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Archer \u200chas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-we-know-about-former-hunter-biden-business-partner-devon-archer\/\" title=\"What we know about Devon Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden.\">previously canceled scheduled depositions<\/a> with the committee on three occasions. The \u200bcommittee issued a subpoena for his testimony last month,\u200b with a \u200ddeadline of June \u206216, \u200dwhich he failed to\u200d meet.<\/p>\n<p>The committee is eager to \u2064hear from Archer as they believe he possesses information\u200b relevant to their investigation. His proximity to Hunter Biden and the rest of the Biden family, particularly their business dealings, makes \u200bhis testimony crucial.<\/p>\n<h3>Archer&#8217;s Role and Potential Implications<\/h3>\n<p>Archer served alongside Hunter Biden on the\u2063 board of \u200cBurisma, the Ukrainian\u2062 energy \u2062company that has been at\u200b the center of allegations of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/naked-partisanship-and-influence-peddling-conservatives-blast-bidens-nominee-to-head-omb\/\" title=\"\u2018Naked Partisanship And Influence Peddling\u2019: Conservatives Blast Biden\u2019s Nominee To Head OMB\">influence peddling<\/a>. He also worked with Hunter Biden on various other business ventures through their investment firm, Rosemont\u2063 Seneca.<\/p>\n<p>Given his close association with Hunter Biden,\u2063 Archer&#8217;s testimony\u2063 has the \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/robert-e-lee-memorial-arlington-house-updated-to-include-more-information-on-slaves-who-lived-there\/\" title=\"Robert E. Lee Memorial Arlington House Updated To Include More Information On Slaves Who Lived There\">highest potential<\/a> to implicate the president and his family members. The \u200dcommittee hopes that his\u2063 insights will shed light on the allegations of influence peddling.<\/p>\n<h3>Archer&#8217;s Introduction of Hunter to Burisma<\/h3>\n<p>Interestingly, it was Archer who \u200drecruited Hunter\u2063 Biden for the\u2063 Burisma position, which raised concerns \u2064about a conflict of interest for\u200c then-Vice President Joe Biden. This recruitment is one of the key focal \u2064points of \u2063the House Republican investigation into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-grill-fed-nominee-over-alleged-influence-peddling\/\" title=\"Republicans Grill Fed Nominee Over Alleged Influence Peddling\">alleged influence peddling<\/a> \u200bby\u2063 Biden.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting\u2063 that another business\u2062 associate of Hunter Biden, Chris Heinz,\u200d declined an invitation to join Burisma. Heinz, the stepson of John Kerry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-gigi-sohns-fcc-nomination-faltering-as-oan-walks-back-endorsement\/\" title=\"Report: Gigi Sohn's FCC Nomination Faltering as OAN Walks Back Endorsement\">expressed strong opposition<\/a> to working with Burisma, stating that it \u200bwas unacceptable. Heinz \u2062and Archer had differing views on pursuing\u2064 the \u200copportunity, with Archer and Hunter Biden deciding to proceed individually rather than\u200d as part of their firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hunter Biden&#8217;s ex-business partner, Devon Archer, a former Burisma board member, will testify privately on Monday before the GOP-led House Oversight Committee.
