However, they emphasized the lack of evidence in \u200dArcher&#8217;s\u200b testimony regarding Joe Biden&#8217;s direct involvement \u200bin business deals.<\/p>\n<h3>Timeline Aligns with Bribery Allegation<\/h3>\n<p>Archer&#8217;s testimony aligns with a bribery allegation outlined in an\u200d FD-1023\u200b document from the FBI. The document, \u2063published by Senator Chuck Grassley, details events in Ukraine that support the allegation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>During a meeting in December 2015, Hunter Biden, \u200bZlochevsky, and another\u2062 Burisma executive stepped away to make a call\u200c to\u2063 Washington, D.C. The\u2062 content of that conversation was not\u2064 overheard by Archer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That same month, Joe Biden traveled to Ukraine and met with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-environmental-appointee-faces-conflict-of-interest-scrutiny-on-hill\/\" title=\"Biden Environmental Appointee Faces Conflict of Interest Scrutiny on Hill\">high-level officials<\/a>, later admitting that he demanded \u200bthe removal of the prosecutor. A confidential\u2063 source \u200bmentioned in \u2063the FD-1023 \u2063document\u200c claimed that a Burisma executive expressed\u200d confidence in Hunter \u2062Biden&#8217;s ability to protect the company through his father&#8217;s influence.<\/p>\n<p>While\u2064 the full transcript of Archer&#8217;s testimony is yet to be\u2064 released, it may provide further details \u2063that either support \u2062or cast doubt on the \u2062bribery allegation. However, Archer did not claim that Joe Biden financially benefited from\u200b his son&#8217;s work with Burisma.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this,\u200c Archer&#8217;s testimony aligns with what \u2062an\u200d informant told the FBI about the nature\u2064 of the Biden family&#8217;s agreement with Zlochevsky. The informant stated that multiple \u200dBurisma\u200c executives cited Hunter Biden&#8217;s \u2063ability\u200d to leverage his father&#8217;s power as the reason for offering him\u2062 a board seat.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2064 2016, Zlochevsky\u200c boasted\u200d about paying $5 million each to Hunter and Joe Biden to resolve the \u2062criminal investigation he was facing. He\u200c assured the confidential source that the payments were structured in\u200b a way that\u2062 would remain hidden for a decade.<\/p>\n<p>Rob Walker, another\u2064 business partner of Hunter Biden, confirmed that an email mentioning &#8220;the big guy&#8221; referred to Joe\u200c Biden. Archer also\u200b confirmed that Hunter\u2064 Biden\u2062 referred to his father as &#8220;my guy&#8221; during business conversations.<\/p>\n<p>While\u2062 Democrats downplayed the significance of the phone calls between Hunter Biden and his father, the confidential \u2064source did not claim that Joe Biden directly worked with Burisma executives. Instead, Zlochevsky suggested that Joe Biden had a\u200c conversation with\u200d him before Hunter \u200dBiden joined the board.<\/p>\n<p>Archer&#8217;s testimony extended beyond Burisma, highlighting Joe Biden&#8217;s involvement\u200c in a 2014 \u2062meeting with a Russian oligarch and his intervention on behalf of \u2064the\u200d daughter of one of Hunter \u2063Biden&#8217;s Chinese business partners.<\/p>\n<p>While Archer&#8217;s testimony does not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/zeldin-accuses-state-department-of-sanctioning-former-albanian-president-as-retribution-for-loyalty-to-republicans\/\" title=\"Zeldin Accuses State Department of Sanctioning Former Albanian President as Retribution for Loyalty to Republicans\">provide concrete evidence<\/a>\u200d of wrongdoing, it adds another layer to the\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/arizona-county-elections-director-quits-accusing-officials-of-politicization\/\" title=\"Arizona County Elections Director Resigns, Citing Political Interference\">ongoing scrutiny surrounding<\/a> the Biden family&#8217;s business dealings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/devon-archer-testimony-bribery-allegation-hunter-biden\">The Washington Examiner<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Devon Archer, ex-business partner of Hunter Biden, testified before the House Oversight Committee.
