(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Hunter Biden’s former best friend, Devon Archer, will have one final chance to divulge Biden family secrets before he is pressed with prison time, the New York Post reported.
Archer has firsthand knowledge of Biden family secrets, reportedly being present at meetings with the Bidens and their foreign business partners during Joe Biden’s time as vice president in the Obama administration.
He was also photographed meeting Joe Biden at the White House only weeks before he and Hunter joined the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
While both men ducked accountability for their Ukrainian influence-peddling operation after Joe Biden pressured the country to drop a corruption investigation, Archer later became ensnared in an effort to defraud a Native American tribe in upstate New York of some $60 million. He was convicted in 2022.
According to the report, Archer had complained to Hunter in 2019 about his legal issues. At the time, Hunter reassured him in response: “Every great family is persecuted … you are part of a great family—not a sideshow, not deserted by them even in your darkest moments. That’s the way Bidens are different, and you are a Biden.”
But now it appears that the Biden family is throwing Archer under the bus, and he will have to save himself by spilling information.
If he declines, Archer may otherwise be in significant legal trouble, especially since 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Sullivan—a Trump appointee–recently reinstated his fraud conviction after its prior overturning.
District Judge Ronnie Abrams, an Obama appointee, had initially expressed “an unwavering concern that Archer is innocent.”
Archer told the court in March that the almost-decadelong trial has been stressful for him, and said he would have committed suicide if not for his family.
“If it was not for my children and wife, I would at times choose not to live,” Archer wrote. “The day I received the subpoena in the fall of 2015, I was completely and utterly shocked, and from that day on, my life has remained in a downward spiral as I have come to learn exactly what was going on.”
He also noted that he has “sought extensive therapy to try and combat” his suicidal thoughts and emotional suffering before concluding that he placed his faith in the wrong men.
“I trusted the wrong people and for that I am deeply sorry,” he concluded. “I am deeply sorry for all the people that I have hurt and the pain I have caused my family, friends, business associates, and those I do not even know.”
