The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed Hunter Biden’s former business partner amid the ongoing investigation into the Biden family’s shady business dealings.
On Monday, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer of Kentucky sent a letter to an attorney for Devon Archer, who co-founded Rosemont Senaca Partners with Hunter and later joined the younger Biden on the Burisma board.
Comer said that Archer “played a significant role in the Biden family’s business deals abroad, including but not limited to China, Russia, and Ukraine.”

“Additionally, while undertaking these ventures with the Biden family, your client met with then-Vice President Biden on multiple occasions, including in the White House,” he added.
According to the Department of Justice, Archer defrauded other investors and a Native American tribal organization of tens of millions of dollars in 2018. He was found guilty in the same year, and a federal appeals court overturned his conviction before reinstating it. He is still awaiting sentencing after losing an appeal of that decision earlier this month.
This comes as the committee is close to unraveling the truth about the Bidens’ shadowy business schemes. Last month, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) might give Congress a document related to the investigation.
“I explained to the director that we will do everything in our power, and we have jurisdiction over the FBI, that we have the right to see this document,” McCarthy said at the time. “I believe after this call, we will get the document.”
The document, FD-1023, is described as an “alleged criminal scheme involving Biden during his time as vice president and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.”
Bank records obtained from the committee’s previous subpoena also show that State Energy HK Limited, a company connected to CEFC China Energy, wired $3 million to Rob Walker, a member of the Biden family, in March 2017. Walker then distributed the money over the course of about three months.
Hunter received payments totaling about $610,000 as part of the 2017 agreement, while first brother James Biden received payments totaling about $360,000, and the president’s daughter-in-law, Hallie Biden, received payments totaling about $25,000.
