House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued a subpoena Monday for Devon Archer, a Biden family associate, to appear for a deposition Friday.
Archer played an integral part in the foreign business dealings of the Biden family, including in Russia, Ukraine and China, the committee wrote in a press release. He was also a business associate of Hunter Biden, visited then-Vice President Joe Biden several times at the White House and is tied to corporate entities that the committee has brought into the investigation, Comer said in his subpoena letter.
The House Oversight Committee issued a report May 10 alleging several members of the Biden family funneled a total of $10 million from foreign sources in Romania and China through various LLCs while Joe Biden was vice president. The committee is investigating foreign nationals’ attempts at coercing the Biden family for the alleged financial gain, and members of the committee have claimed that an FD-1023 document provided by the FBI directly ties Joe Biden to a “pay-to-play” scheme.

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,” Comer wrote in the subpoena letter.
