James Comer Subpoenas Hunter Biden Associate To Appear Before House Committee

Archer played a role in the Biden family's overseas business dealings in China, Russia, and Ukraine. Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any knowledge of his son's business arrangements.

According to a letter from Chairman James Comer, "The Committee is investigating foreign nationals' attempts to target and coerce high-ranking U.S. officials' family members by providing money or other benefits in exchange for certain actions. The Committee is considering legislative solutions to this problem. The Committee has identified Mr. Archer as possessing information relevant to its investigation and seeks your client's testimony regarding these and other related topics."

The letter further states, "The Committee is investigating the national security implications of a Vice President's or President's (and candidates for such offices) immediate family members receiving millions of dollars from foreign nationals, foreign companies, or foreign governments without any oversight. Current financial disclosure laws and regulations do not require non-dependent family members of senior elected officials to provide any information to the public. The Committee is seeking meaningful reforms to government ethics and disclosure laws that will provide necessary transparency into a Vice President's or President's immediate family members' income, assets, and financial relationships."

Comer and the House GOP have been investigating the Biden family over allegations of a $5 million bribery scandal in which Joe Biden took money from Ukraine to affect U.S. foreign policy, including insisting on firing a top prosecutor looking into energy giant Burisma. Hunter Biden sat on Burisma's board, with a board fee of over $80,000 per month, until shortly after the end of Biden's VP term.

Archer was also on the board of Burisma and served at the same time as Hunter Biden. Joe Biden was in charge of Ukraine policy under the Obama administration and was in a position to insist that the top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, be fired, or U.S. funds be withheld. Biden bragged about threatening to withhold those funds until Shokin was fired, and then he was.

Comer has been looking into financial records that show the movement of large sums of money from foreign businesses to Biden associates to Biden family members.

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene recently reviewed a memo from a paid FBI informant in which the CEO of Burisma said it would take a decade before anyone became aware of the various shenanigans being pulled between the Bidens and Burisma.
