In a controversial move, former U.S. President Donald Trump has pardoned Devon Archer, once a business associate of Hunter Biden, following his conviction for conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe.
Archer emerged as a pivotal figure in the congressional probe into the Biden family, revealing to lawmakers that Hunter Biden purportedly offered an 'illusion of access' to his father, President Joe Biden.
This high-profile pardon comes amid Republican efforts to scrutinize the Bidens, with Archer's testimony suggesting that the president was not directly implicated in any suspect financial transactions.
