In a confrontational exchange on Wednesday, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy pressed Joe Biden about the recent testimony provided by Devin Archer, a former business associate of Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.
Archer’s testimony has become the center of attention in recent days, alleging that Joe Biden was frequently present during business discussions, often participating via speakerphone.
“There’s this testimony now where one of your son’s former business associates is claiming that you were on speaker phone a lot talking business.” Doocy stated.
Biden then responded, “I never talked business. I knew you’d have a lousy question.’”
“Why is that a lousy question?’” Doocy pressed
“Because it’s not true.” Biden replied.
Devin Archer is an American businessman closely linked with Hunter Biden. The two were business partners and jointly served on the board of Burisma Holdings, a significant private natural gas company in Ukraine.

Their business connections, particularly in relation to Ukraine, have faced political scrutiny and investigations over time. Archer has underscored Hunter Biden’s value to their joint business ventures, pointing to his connections in Washington, D.C., and the influential “Biden brand.”
Archer’s claims suggest that Joe Biden was involved in approximately 20 calls spanning over a decade, characterizing it as an “abuse of soft power.” Furthermore, Archer referenced a letter from Joe Biden expressing appreciation and enthusiasm for their business approach.
These statements notably challenge Joe Biden’s previous assertions that he had no involvement in his son’s business dealings. The discrepancy between Archer’s testimony and Biden’s earlier statements creates a significant point of contention and further scrutiny.
“Dude always throws strikes even though he knows ump going to call a ball,” one netizen said.
“Bidenomics – When the Bidens get rich taking bribes from countries around the world,” another Twitter user said.
As the public grapples with the revelations from Archer’s testimony, there is growing interest in understanding the extent of Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business ventures and how this new information aligns with his previous statements on the matter.
The evolving narrative surrounding the Biden family’s business connections continues to be a subject of significant attention and scrutiny.
