Both Democrats and Republicans are claiming their key points have been proven in the wake of a former business associate of Hunter Biden's high-profile testimony behind closed doors.
August 1, 2023, 4:37 PMDevon Archer, Hunter Biden's former business partner, arrives on Capitol Hill to give closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee in the Republican-led investigations into President Joe Biden's son, July 31, 2023.
Here are the key takeaways from Archer's appearance and the reaction. His interview was transcribed but has not been released to the public.According to Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., Archer testified that Hunter Biden was "selling the illusion of access to his father." Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., also said in a statement after the hearing that Archer confirmed Hunter Biden was selling this illusion.Republicans on the committee said Archer told them Hunter Biden's value to Burisma centered on "the brand" associated with the Biden family, though a Democratic source claimed "the brand" referred more broadly to Washington.
Archer and Hunter Biden were business partners since 2009 when they co-founded the advisory firm Rosemont Seneca, and they later both landed seats on Burisma's board in 2014. Hunter Biden resigned from the board in April 2019. But Republicans said the testimony undercut Biden's repeated claims he "never discussed" his son's business ventures.
