Hunter Biden’s former best friend, who was also a director of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, is reportedly going to directly contradict the Biden family story by claiming that Hunter put his father on the phone about two dozen times while Hunter spoke to his foreign business partners or investors.

Joe Biden has asserted time and time again that he didn’t talk to his son about Hunter’s international business transactions.

According to The New York Post, 48-year-old Devon Archer will appear before the House Oversight Committee and is likely to claim that the calls took place while he was present. A close friend of Archer’s also claimed that Archer is testifying out of a sense of duty to his “civic duty.”

The colleague claimed that Archer has “nothing to hide, no retaliation to exact, nor anyone to protect other than his family and he believes he has been tied by the ridiculously phony [fraud] allegation into being silent. He can at least begin to express the truth in a setting where he has immunity.”

Since it was learned that Archer would testify, there have allegedly been threats against his family, including death, and instructions to “keep your mouth shut.”

“We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer about all the times he has witnessed Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s overseas business partners when he was vice president, including on speakerphone,” House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) said.

One of the meetings Archer will talk about took place on December 4, 2015, when Archer and Hunter Biden reportedly had dinner with the Burisma board in Dubai before being contacted by a senior Burisma executive named Vadym Pozharskyi at a different hotel and telling them that Mykola Zlochevsky, the company’s owner, needed to get in touch with Hunter Biden.

According to reports, Biden presented Pozharskyi and Zlochevsky to his father, putting them on speaker, and said they “need our support.”

Prior to the phone call, in a speech about corruption in Odessa in September 2015, U.S. Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt singled out Zlochevsky. According to emails found on Hunter’s laptop, the Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin was looking into Burisma, which prompted Pozharskyi to put pressure on Hunter. In one email from November 2015, Pozharskyi demanded that Hunter Biden and Archer use their positions of power to “close down” the probe into Burisma.

By February 2016, Shokin had taken possession of Zlochevsky’s Dubai-based property.

Joe Biden threatened to withdraw $1 billion in U.S. funding to Ukraine in March 2016 on the grounds that Shokin wasn’t looking into corruption.

In March 2016, Shokin was fired. Biden then bragged to the Council on Foreign Relations, “I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a b****. He got fired.”

According to reports, Archer will provide testimony regarding two meals in Washington, D.C., which Hunter scheduled for Joe Biden to attend and attend with Hunter’s business associates from Kazakhstan, Russia, and Ukraine.

Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, claimed that during calls with associates, Hunter Biden frequently called his father, adding:

I am also aware of other Biden family business associates confirming that Joe would take phone calls from Hunter in the middle of business meetings and would weigh in via speakerphone. … Sitting with Hunter at Chateau Marmont before I first met Joe Biden on May 2, 2017, Hunter was adamant that his father takes his calls at any time, no matter what his lawyers say or with gatekeepers like Kate Bedingfield playing interference. … The American people don’t fully appreciate yet the key role Joe Biden played in the Biden family global influence peddling . . . I would equate it to a chairman’s role in a traditional business structure.
