Devon Archer Discusses Potential Pardon from Trump Amid Controversial Biden Connections

Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, has indicated that he may soon receive a pardon from President Donald Trump. Archer expressed astonishment that this was necessary, given his previous associations and the Biden family’s impacts on his life.

During a recent encounter at the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia, Archer claimed Trump shared some “very encouraging words” regarding a potential presidential pardon.

In an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Archer revealed that he had received word from his attorney earlier indicating that Trump was considering this pardon. “The president was discussing this, and he had acknowledged that he was going to do it,” he stated.

According to Trump’s comments made to the New York Post, he intends to grant Archer a “full pardon” due to what he characterized as Archer being “screwed by the Bidens.” Trump has been vocal about the perceived injustices faced by Archer and others related to Biden, stating, “They destroyed him like they tried to destroy a lot of people.”

Archer’s Involvement with the Bidens

Archer is notably recognized for serving on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, alongside Hunter Biden. He has provided testimony to the House Oversight Committee, asserting that Hunter Biden frequently leveraged the Biden family name for personal gains.

During a closed-door hearing in 2023, Archer described how Hunter Biden placed his father, then Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone during business meetings numerous times—between 10 and 20 instances. However, he clarified that no significant discussions occurred in these calls.

He recounted that Joe Biden would conclude business meetings with statements like, “You do a favor for me, you’re my friend. You do a favor for my son, you’re a friend for life.” Archer’s remarks have fueled ongoing debates about the influence-peddling allegations associated with the Biden family.

Investigations into Influence-Peddling

House Republicans have engaged in a lengthy investigation focusing on the allegations of influence-peddling by the Biden family. This investigation has included discussions of an impeachment inquiry against President Biden.

The House Oversight Committee has claimed that the Biden family and their associates received over $20 million from foreign entities between the years of 2015 and 2017. Despite these findings, a report issued during an impeachment inquiry last year concluded that while President Biden committed “impeachable offenses,” it did not entail any criminal wrongdoing.

Archer’s Legal Troubles

Archer faces his own legal challenges, having been convicted in 2018 alongside others for defrauding a Native American tribe in a scheme involving the fraudulent issuance and sale of tribal bonds. He received a sentence of one year and one day in federal prison. His conviction underwent a rollercoaster of appeals; it was overturned and then reinstated in 2020, with the Supreme Court denying his appeal last year.

Recent reports, including those from New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, noted that Archer’s 2022 sentence had been overturned due to a technicality. He is scheduled for resentencing later this year.

Reflections on His Experiences

Reflecting on his tumultuous experiences, Archer expressed skepticism toward the support he expected from the Biden family. During his conversation with Watters, Archer admitted, “You didn’t think you’d ever need this pardon because Joe Biden said he’d take care of you. Isn’t that what he said?”

Archer emphatically responded, “Absolutely. Well, and so did Hunter. I mean, once a Biden, always a Biden.” He elaborated on his situation, asserting, “I didn’t think — first of all, I didn’t think I’d need this because I never did anything. I was a victim of financial fraud in which I invested a lot of money and was taken down by a whistleblower who was blowing the whistle on Hunter.”

This ongoing saga illustrates the complexities involved in American politics, legal entanglements, and the sometimes turbulent intersections between business and government. As discussions about pardons and influence in Washington continue, the implications of Archer’s situation remain to be fully uncovered.

A New Chapter for Archer?

If Archer receives the anticipated pardon from Trump, it could signify a significant shift in his personal narrative and legal trajectory. This potential pardon raises questions about the broader implications for political alliances and accountability. The scrutiny surrounding the Biden family—especially regarding the nexus of their business dealings and political influence—continues to capture public attention.

As investigations proceed, Archer finds himself at the intersection of a broader political drama involving both the Trump and Biden families, an unforeseen role in a complex narrative that continues to evolve in the American political landscape.
