Trump Pardons Devon Archer, Former Hunter Biden Business Partner

The pardon ends Archer's legal battles, with Trump citing unfair treatment and his role in congressional investigations into Biden family dealings.

President Donald Trump signed a full pardon for Devon Archer, who was convicted in 2018 for his role in a $60 million tribal bond fraud scheme.
The White House stated that Archer's prosecution shifted in tone after he began cooperating with Republican-led congressional investigations into the Biden family.
Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, testified in 2023 that Hunter often used his father's name to impress business associates but did not implicate Joe Biden in wrongdoing.
Trump announced the pardon during a meeting with Archer at the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia, reportedly arranged by whistleblower Tony Bobulinski.
Archer expressed gratitude for the pardon, claiming he was unfairly targeted as part of a broader effort to protect the Biden family.
