Top Republicans say Hunter Biden‘s business partner Devon Archer’s damning testimony shines a ‘new light’ on the plea deal that fell apart in court last week, and reveals that Joe was directly ‘implicated’ in his son’s dealings.
Archer told Congress in bombshell testimony Monday the ‘Biden brand’ helped keep Ukrainian firm Burisma from going bankrupt. He also revealed Joe was on the phone or present in-person at least 20 times while his son who called him ‘my guy’ was talking with foreign associates.
Following Archer’s testimony, Republicans are now saying they may have enough evidence to begin an impeachment inquiry into the president for lying about his involvement in Hunter’s businesses. The White House has maintained that Joe ‘has never been in business’ with his son.
‘The evidence continues to mount and today we saw Joe Biden has lied to the American people. He knew who his son was getting those dollars from and he spoke to them and spoke to them often,’ House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News’ Sean Hannity hours after the testimony concluded.
Archer’s revelations to Congress provided evidence to help Republicans take a ‘huge step towards implicating Joe Biden in these crimes,’ continued Comer. ‘We heard from someone on the inside that it was influence peddling. Joe Biden himself talked to every person that has wired money to the Bidens.’
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan added that Archer’s testimony shone a ‘new light’ on Hunter’s ‘sweetheart’ plea deal, which fell apart in federal court last week.
