President Donald Trump promised to pardon ex-Hunter Biden business partner turned impeachment witness Devon Archer, who he said was targeted by the Biden family
The president pledged to pardon Archer during a meeting at the NCAA wrestling championships which was held in Philadelphia on Saturday night, the New York Post’s Miranda Devine reported. The meeting was said to have been arranged by fellow ex-Hunter Biden business partner and impeachment witness Tony Bobulinski.
“He’s getting a full pardon,” Trump told Devine on Sunday. “He was screwed by the Bidens. They destroyed him like they tried to destroy a lot of people.”
He continued, “A full pardon” and said Archer was an “anti-Biden person” because he exposed part of the corruption scandal by his testimony to the House Republican committees leading the impeachment probe into former President Joe Biden.

Archer became one of the key witnesses in the impeachment inquiry into Hunter’s father, President Joe Biden, having been a close associate of the first son for years. In 2023, Archer testified to the House Oversight Committee that he witnessed Hunter Biden introduce his father, whether in person or over the phone to several foreign business partners, including a Russian oligarch, a Chinese fund manager, and Ukrainian energy company executives.
Archer was convicted of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit the same in 2018 in a Manhattan federal court as part of a tribal bonds scheme. Another defendant in the case, Jason Galanis would later tell the House Oversight Committee that the fraudulent scheme set up by him and Archer was for the purpose of raising money for a hedge fund with Hunter Biden, a firm that his father was set to join after his vice presidency.
However, the younger Biden escaped any scrutiny for his role in proximity to the scheme despite evidence collected by FBI and Security and Exchange Commission agents showing an affiliation with the Burnham entity at the center of the alleged fraud.
Archer’s conviction was originally thrown out by a district judge, who cited insufficient evidence. But, after the conviction was reinstated on appeal, Archer was sentenced to a year in prison in 2022. After appealing that decision, Archer was awarded a resentencing, which is scheduled for later this year. (Read more: Just the News, 3/24/2025) (Archive)
