Not an illusion: Democrats tried, failed to force Devon Archer to deny Biden's role in son's deals -
Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner, Devon Archer, delivered four hours of closed-door testimony to House lawmakers earlier this week, all of it released in a transcript Thursday.
“Hunter Biden possessed actual experience and contacts in Washington, D.C. in the political sphere,” Mr. Goldman, who led the questioning for Democrats, told reporters after the deposition. “And that is ultimately what he was providing to Burisma.” But it was Mr. Goldman who repeatedly badgered Archer to define the business scheme as “an illusion of access” to Joe Biden.
But Archer, who is facing one year in prison on an unrelated securities fraud conviction, called the illusion reference “almost fair.” Mr. Goldman spun Archer’s recollection to reporters, telling them Archer told lawmakers Burisma did not want Mr. Shokin fired. Burisma executives wanted him to remain in office because they felt they could control him, he claims Archer said.He told lawmakers neither Hunter Biden nor executives from Burisma said they wanted Shokin to stay in power.
But according to Congressional lawmakers, two months before Mr. Shokin’s firing, he announced the seizure of property from Burisma Holding’s founder, Mykola Zlochevsky.
