Hunter Biden put then-Vice President Joe Biden on several phone calls with the younger man’s overseas business partners, Hunter Biden’s close friend and former business partner Devon Archer is reportedly expected to say in testimony before the House Oversight and Government Accountability Committee.

The Oversight Committee subpoenaed Archer in June, with committee chairman James Comer writing that he holds relevant information on “foreign nationals’ attempts to target and coerce high-ranking U.S. officials’ family members.” Archer was sentenced to 366 days in prison in 2022 after being convicted of defrauding the Oglala Sioux Native American tribe of $60 million, although he is free pending appeal.

Hunter Biden called his father on the phone during at least two dozen meetings with foreign business associates, the New York Post reported Sunday. The then-VP reportedly got on the phone with Burisma executives Mykola Zlochevsky and Vadym Pozharsky on Dec. 4, 2015, Archer is expected to testify. At the same time, Hunter Biden and Archer were working to secure Zlochevsky a new U.S. visa, since his old one was revoked in 2014.

Five days after the call, Joe Biden gave a speech to the Ukrainian parliament in which he blasted the “pervasive poison of cronyism, corruption, and kleptocracy” and praised the Ukrainian public for their repeated protests against corruption. He later pushed Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko to fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who had been accused of corruption but was also investigating Burisma.

“I said, you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a bitch. He got fired,” Biden said in 2018 of an aid package the Obama administration threatened to withhold.

Archer will reportedly testify that Hunter Biden would occasionally tell his father that he was in meetings, so the vice president was aware of his business activities. In other instances, however, Hunter would not introduce his guests to his father over the phone, according to the Post.

President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied knowledge of his son’s business decisions, even though Hunter Biden has traveled on official state visits to countries where he conducts business. Joe Biden also met with Pozharsky in 2015, according to an email from Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
