In a recent development that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, Devon Archer, a former confidant and business associate of Hunter Biden, took the stand on Monday before the House Oversight Committee. This high-stakes appearance comes as part of a sweeping investigation into the labyrinthine corridors of the Biden family’s business activities and alleged foreign entanglements. Archer’s testimony has unveiled a series of explosive claims, each shedding light on the inner workings of the Biden dynasty.
At the heart of Archer’s statements lies a revelation that casts a shadow of doubt over President Joe Biden’s longstanding assertion of detachment from his son’s business affairs. Archer asserted that Hunter Biden’s prestigious position on the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma was, in fact, secured primarily due to his familial connections. Furthermore, Archer dropped a bombshell by attesting that Hunter orchestrated at least twenty phone conversations between then-Vice President Joe Biden and his business associates, ostensibly to flaunt his influential contacts within the upper echelons of the US government.

President Biden, firm in his stance of non-involvement, vehemently stated in 2019, “I have never discussed, with my son or my brother or with anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses. Period.” However, Archer’s gripping testimony has sent ripples of doubt through this narrative, prompting a reconsideration of the President’s purported aloofness.
Despite Archer’s compelling claims, recent headlines present a conflicting perspective, framing his revelations as a validation of the Biden camp’s assertion that Joe Biden was not complicit in his son’s overseas business affairs. The Washington Post’s headline, “Hunter Tried to Sell Family Name but Joe Biden Never Talked Business, Says Ex-Associate,” seems to paint a picture that echoes the President’s denial of any substantive discussions involving business dealings.
NBC News chimed in with a similar tone, proclaiming, “Hunter Biden Business Associate Testifies He Has No Knowledge of Wrongdoing by Joe Biden.” These headlines appear to bolster the notion that President Biden’s hands remain untainted by any alleged improprieties associated with his son’s business forays.
However, a New York Times article, provocatively titled “Biden Spoke With Son’s Associates, but Not About Business, Former Partner Says,” ignited a firestorm on social media. The article’s contentious assertion, “It has long been known that the elder Mr. Biden at times interacted with his son’s business partners,” raised eyebrows and prompted a reevaluation of the media’s role in shaping public perceptions.
Prominent conservative commentator and Spectator contributing editor Stephen Miller weighed in on the evolving discourse, noting, “This thing Joe Biden has denied several times over has long been known.” Miller’s astute observation underscores the shifting narrative surrounding President Biden’s involvement with Hunter’s business network and raises questions about the media’s historical treatment of the issue.
As Archer’s testimony reverberates through the hallowed halls of Congress, it remains to be seen how this riveting saga will ultimately unfold. The contradictions between Archer’s claims and the media’s framing of the Biden family’s business dynamics cast a spotlight on the complex interplay between politics, power, and perception.
