devin archer told lawmaker

archer, how important was the biden brand to your business? conclude less productive than you would expect there. chad, do we see a story that is sliding here now? when you put together what you just reported with dan goldman from new york saying there were conversations but innocent, essentially. and what karine jean-pierre said a week ago, never in business, so the language changes there. is this a story that is slipping? >> it appears that there are some changes. certainly from what the white house said a couple of days ago from the press secretary. again, and it might be an issue of interpretation when dan goldman says these were casual conversations, did they just put the president on the horn. but keep in mind if you are dealing with people overseas and you are the son of the vice president, now the president, and you put him on the speaker phone, that is going to carry a certain amount of weight, especially when you are dealing with this question of the ukrainian prosecutor, and that's what republicans are trying to get at here saying w

that's where hunter -- devon archer comes in.ports are correct, he is prepared to testify that on a number of occasions, maybe dozens of occasions when hunter biden was with some of those foreign businessmen overseas, hunter biden would call up his father, put him on speakerphone and introduce him. here is my friend and joe biden would exchange pleasantries with that person. if that's true that's a con true that's a direct connection. >> bill: democrats say it adds up to nothing. chris murphy from over the weekend. >> i think it is a witch hunt. if hunter biden has broken the law he should be held accountable for it. i don't think he is being treated any differently than anyone else accused of the crimes he has been accused of. >> bill: here is the catch if devon archer talks about what you described that statement by chris murphy makes no sense. >> it will be very interesting to see how democrats react to this today because in the past they've had the dilemma any time testimony about hunter biden and conceding that yes, hunter b

archer says love you, brother. very much man, these blank people, i swear to god, i'm making sure i'm nots saying these words out loud here. we'll have the last laugh. i know, can i please come see you now that i'm not a felon, don't answer that, when and where. i liked you better as a felon. call me later. archer writes back, okay, and ends the conversation with a laugh. you all are saying and i get it, this shows how close they are. when i read it, what i see it shows how little they care. i don't want to say hair, the a arrogance and hunter. don't worry, we'll get the justice department back for attempting to. my dad is important and powerful and we don't have to play by the rules is what i read from that. >> ainsley: we were talking about that and will and i had a conversation about that. if we had our case dropped by a judge and didn't have to go to jail, i would be writing, thank the good lord, i'm exonerated, i'm off the hook, i would be so grateful they are arrogant, hunter is. devin archer no so much, i've

devon archer is going to -- not testify.e can't use that language because technically he is not going to be under oath. is he going to appear before members of congress at 10:00 a.m. this morning to answer their questions because is he reportedly said that hunter introduced his father to his foreign business partners or perspective investors. he has also said think got on the phone together. hunter biden would call his cad on speaker phone some of the business folks burisma over in ukraine and brag his dad was vice president at the time and get him on the phone. >> will: in that closed door meeting scheduled to take place as you said today at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. it's expected that archer will reveal joe biden's alleged involvement in multiple phone calls regarding foreign business deals when he was vice president. the meeting is expected to last about four hours. the justice department sending a letter to archer on saturday, urging him to report to jail. remember, republicans say is an attempt continue tim date him befo

why did burisma hire devin archer? because he was close to long-time political associate and bagman for the sitting u.s. secretary of state john kerry. why did they put hunter biden on the board? he knows nothing about the natural gas business. why did they hire him? because he's the son of the sitting vice president of the united states. there is a direct connection between biden -- joe biden and hunter biden. they're father and son. i used to spend some time in central europe. one of the gifts left by the soviets is corruption. if you had problems with the government in kiev, you hired an american. what better americans to hire for burisma to hire than the buddy of the sitting vice president -- secretary of state and the son of the sitting vice president of the united states. there was corruption right from the get-go. the fact that the vice president, then vice president, now president thinks that it's to his advantage to say i never talked to my son about his business, he should have. son, you're involved in a corr

devon archer is going to -- not testify.s not going to be under oath. is he going to appear before members of congress at 10:00 a.m. this morning to answer their questions because is he reportedly said that hunter introduced his father to his foreign business partner

>>s cross-examining devon archer. so devon archer ooh's explaining the value of hunter biden sitting on the burisma board. well, it's for the grand. what does that mean, the brand? if who's the brand? if watch this testimony unfold. so archer says the brand, i think that's why burisma was able to survive for as long as it did. goldman says, because of additional capital or what in no, just because of brand. goldman says, well, i don't understand. how does that have an impact? archer says, well, capabilities to navigate d.c. that they were able to, you know, basically be in the news cycle. i think that preserved them from, you know, a longevity standpoint. that's, like, my honest, that's like really what i -- that's how i think about this holistically k. and goldman says, but how would that work? archer says, because people would be intimidate to mess with them, again, because of the brand. goldman asks, in what way? and archer says, legally. [laughter] this is about getting a prosecutor fired this ukraine. pete: he's

devon archer was one of the key players very close to the biden family.a question of what does he know and what is he going to tell investigators? how close will to get them to solving this mystery about president biden's involvement in the form business deals? >> as vice president joe biden bragged about getting a prosecutor fired who was looking into the burisma company. had put his son and devon archer on its board. you have to wonder what the connection is there. quickset is right. that is right when joe biden was becoming sort of the top u.s. figure dealing with ukraine on behalf of the obama administration. these a burisma board seats were lucrative. up to one year to year presidet biden's make and they were wiring money to devon archer as well. and victor was a general prosecutor to ukraine was ousted during biden's at time of working with ukraine heat later bragged about getting him fired and now the democrats will argue there were many others who thought he was not doing enough to prosecute corruption in ukraine. but at the time he was fired, he

meaning archer and hunter. i guess lead us to believe, harold, that the president knew about his son's business partner which means that they probably talk about the business. >> so i will go with the normal good morning and things with having me on. i think this raises a couple of things but i think the president is probably going to have to answer this question again and clarified what he meant by he never spoke with his son about any of his business dealings because it appears at least from mr. archer's transcript of testimony that that has been called into question. i find myself agreeing a lot of times with andy mccarthy. i think his analysis around president trump's most recent indictment. i might agree with him this morning. the issue here for me with president biden is -- if they find some records or some bank account activity that points to transfers or wires, that would be problematic. if the president dies it president biden in his capacity as vice president did anything on behalf of the company obvi

with respect to the devin archer statements, devin archer has confirmed over his decade long business relationship with hunter biden that he never heard hunter biden discuss business with his father in phone calls or in person. i do want to add this as well. mr. biden's bookkeeper from 2000 nip to 2018, he was his bookkeeper, he has access to his bank accounts. he had no knowledge of president biden having any involvement in hunter biden's financial activities. with respect to the weiss issue. i know that's been an issue that's been pushed a lot, too. that argument is that -- you know, weiss was derailing the investigation and to hunter biden and slowing it down. you know, key points on that obviously are the fact that weiss was appointed by president trump and as congressman buck said a few days ago in the judiciary committee hearings, if the president had removed weiss when he first came in to office republicans would have argued that that was an effort to derail the investigation against hunter biden. in fact, when the attorney general testified he noted that he had senate republic

text messages different deal than devon archer corroborate the story that devon archer was telling in that transcript. biden family name was cash, it was influence, it was access, it was protection. >> sean: well, i mean this is huge. it 'em sos, don't forget the whatsapp message, i am sitting here with my father. $5 million was transferred from the head of the cefc, the oil giant connected to the chinese government to the biden family, after that whatsapp message exchange? is it. >> absolutely. other money changing hands, allocution documents made by the delaware court, you can download the plea deal. millions of dollars hunter biden is getting from the chinese 17 and 18, now think about that. joe biden looked be the camera saying it's not true, my family didn't get chinese money. his son is calling him a liar. devon archer is calling him a liar. the biden family name is what was being sold and it bought protection and access to the foreign clients who wanted it. >> sean: there is a growing cancer emerging and getting -- growing every day around the biden presidency, the walls are cl

by the way, devon archer is testifying on monday.ever see -- you usually see the doj send letters like this out on a saturday? >> never. never. this is the first time i've ever heard of the department of justice doing anything on a saturday. maria: so what is this letter? can you walk us through it? the government is apprising the court of the status of devon archer's appeal of his judgment of conviction, and they request that the court set a surrender date for the defendant to report to a facility. please walk us through what this letter says. >> right. yeah. the letter prosecute department of justice is trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and sentence devon archer for something unrelated to what we're going to be talking to him about tomorrow. it's odd that it was issued on a saturday, and it's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come in to have an opportunity to speak in front of the house oversight committee and tell the american people the truth about what really went on with burisma. so, you know, i don't know if thi

so why was nothing done to devon archer? but i would caution people not to get too excited about what he may or may not say. let's wait and see what happens. >> is that because there is really not that substantive immunity that, you know, an actual lawyer in a courtroom could maybe argue for if you stand before and get interviewed by this house committee, can they offer him anything? >> well, he can refuse to testify based on fifth amendment immunity. he has an absolute right to do that. for all we know he might show up and do that. the problem he had before was when he didn't show up. so it wouldn't surprise me if he asked for immunity and they could give him immunity. by the way. i don't know if this committee could but the house could give immunity. that immunity, by the way, is every bit as broad as immunity given by the justice department. the immunity given to oliver north and john.dexter is why their convictions got reversed. that could be a development that no one is talking about. >> harris: you are saying the house

archer attorneys say all devin archer did was exactly what we said he would, show up and answer the questionso him honestly and completely. mr. archer shared the truth with the committee, we will leave it to them to decide what to do with it. here is congressman andy biggs on the findings. >> people would probably not be inclined to legally lean on burisma because of the biden brand. >> archer talked about the big guy and how hunter biden said we need to talk to my guy, see when my guy will be here and those types of things. >> brooke: house republicans zeroing in on the decision to sign off on hunter biden sweetheart deal plea deal rejected by a federal judge last week. todd and carley. >> carley: bring in former investigator to u.s. senate and house of representatives, sam duey. four-hour closed door testimony. what are your top takeaways? >> two things. first, it is extraordinary, it destroys joe biden's narrative, had no idea, never talked to my know so, not involved. joe biden either very much was involved or was an ostrich with his head in the sand. one thing to say hello to your son's

hunter biden, devon archer, zlochevsky, the key guys at burisma.nited states' government because of all the pressure. and that's the term that arch or used in the interview, all the pressure we are under from the prosecutor, from from great britain who seized $23 million in assets of burisma. we need help. and then, of course, five days later joe biden goes to ukraine, gives a speech where he criticizes the prosecutor in ukraine, setting in motion over the next few months when he would ultimately pressure them to fire the guy, or they wouldn't get the taxpayer dollars from the american people. maria: and that is house judiciary committee chairman congressman jim jordan with me on fox business' "maria bartiromo's wall street" this weekend as he identifies at least one decision joe biden made to placate russian energy company burisma allegedly in exchange for being paid $5 million to joe and another $5 million to hunter. joining me right now with more is peter schweizer, president of the government accountability institute. he's author of "secret emp

devon archer describes in great detail what he calls the biden brand and how it was used. details on those 20 plus phone calls, speaker phone calls now. president biden was on speakerphone four. and in the interview, republican congressman andy biggs asked archer, when you say biden family, you are talking about joe biden? archer responds, "yeah, that is fair to say. i don't think about it joe directly but that is fair." that routes the most value to the brand. hunter biden used his data as "defensive leverage for foreign business partners" pure democratic santa missed the sayg he was talking about the weathes key, archer says they were to talk about the weather. and that was signaling them to be powerful. goldman then asked, "this was about to protecting the allusion to access to his father, is that right?" archer says, "that is correct." >> i understand the democrats have to play defense and pretend they don't understand it. but to any normal person, this story is not complicated. you had a guy no skills, no professional ability making money in kazakhstan, romania, russi

and now is archer's testimony shedding light on those comments? >> joe biden admitted with pride, admitted, bragged about his role in firing and having the ukrainian prosecutor fired and the archer testimony only adds further evidence to the degree to which joe biden would sometimes get on the phone or publicly weigh in on make it clear that he was connected with his son. molly: meanwhile, hunter biden almost, almost walks out of court with a sweet, no jail plea deal that would have, could have protected him from some further prosecution. president trump appeared thursday facing another indictment. republicans say there's a double standard. the g.o.p. is fighting to level the playing field as they kind of get working to get to the bottom of this ongoing investigation going on, trying to bring to light all sorts of things and they've brought to light some pretty interesting things, some conversations, but do you think there are two standards of justice? >> oh, there's obviously two standards. the question is what is motivating the democratic party?

look at what devon archer testified today. he said not only was joe biden on the phone with people including the charisma executives, talking about what ever, even though the president denied he spoke to these people, he said hunter biden was under pressure while they served, to call washington, d.c., and tried to get him fired. not many days later, he traveled to ukraine. we have seen the video where he brags about withholding foreign aid in exchange for the ukrainian president firing the prosecutor investigating the corrupt energy company. >> the meeting took place in dubai and the owner of marie summa was at that meeting. they were desperate to get help from joe biden. is that a fair assessment? >> that is a fair assessment. >> joe biden, i have the tape you are referring to. >> i had gotten a commitment from cora shane company that they would take action. i said we are not going to give you the billion dollars. they said you have no authority. i said tell them, you are not getting $1 billion. i am going to leave here. if t

and archer says, hunter called his dad. even though he knew it would set off serious alarm bells for influence peddling. archer went on to say burisma would have gone out of business if it didn't have the brand attached to it and he said the brand is joe biden. archer says the biden brand made people intimidated to mess with them legally. so, a corrupt ukrainian company was paying hunter biden millions of dollars so his father vp could provide legal protection. that's what trump got impeached for asking about, that right there. and now we know from the eyewitness insider testimony it's all true. and after reading the transcript, this whole excuse from democrats like goldman, saying joe was discussing the weather with clients was actually a joke. archer said, well, not necessarily the weather, you know. it's quite obvious what we're talking about. so, even the democrat' lame cover stories are falling apart. democrats said archer testified that hunter wasn't selling access to joe, he was selling the illusion of access to joe.

>> based on archer's testimony? >> i think so. >> harris: one democrat brushed it all off. >> there were niceties and hello and talked about the weather or whatever it was. never any business. >> harris: in "focus" pat fall on. republican of texas. chad pergram for the latest on capitol hill. chad, we should be just a couple of days away from the transcript so everybody can see what happened in that interview. >> that's right, harris. and who do you believe after yesterday's multi-hour transcribed interview? democrats and republicans are polar opposites on this. republicans suspect the worst. >> that plea deal was designed to cover up the web of corruption surrounding joe biden and his family. this is the biden administration and his hit man merrick garland and jack smith going after their political rival and they don't like it because it stinks of two-tier justice. this is unamerican. we don't do this in our country. it happens in third world country and it is wrong for our country. >> bill: they believe the archer

hi. >> griff: devin archer was one of his best friends and sat on the board of directors of burisma. he didn't answer chad pergram's questions yesterday, but behind closed doors, he said that hunter biden put his father on speaker phone to sell the brand 20 times. house oversight committee chairman james comer says this, devin archer testimony confirm joe biden lied to the american people when he said he had no knowledge about his son's business dealings and was not involved. joe biden was what he sold to enrich the biden family. andy biggs elaborated on what archer told him. >> term he used was this, people would not be inclined to legally lean on burisma because of the biden name. which again, that was joe biden. >> archer talked about the big guy and how hunter biden said we need to talk to my guy, see when my guy is going to be here and those type things. >> griff: the white house is ush approximating back denying that the president ever talked business on the call, saying this. it appears house republicans hyped witness testified he never heard of president biden discussing or d

we have our hand on the devin archer transcripts, we know the truth. >> dan goldman said that archertified that it was the illusion of access to joe biden that hunter biden was offering to these clientses. in fact, when you look at the transcript, illusion of access is in dan goldman's question issue not what devin archer testified to. he says yes, but that is not quite fair. this was about showing that there was the signal there is influence and access here. >> laura: kudos to catherine her ridge for calling that out. that hasn't stopped them from lying. phil bump tweeted just released transcript es haveerates what was said on tv. archer said burisma wanted hunter biden to get prosecutors off their back. they were getting pressure and they requested hunter help with the pressure and during goldman's questioning, he got archer to say burisma wanted hunter on the board so people would be intimidated to mess with them legally. archer revealed then vp joe biden did attend dinners with foreign business associates, including one at famous cafe miknow lao in washington, d.c., just weeks af

the attack on devon archer is well underway by the doj.nd this intimidation, this message to him don't you testify negatively against the bidens or you will get what's coming. send a message to the media, hey, reminder this guy is a convicted felon. you can use that to go after him and attack his credibility. don't you expect the media to do that as well as, quite frankly, ignore the story? >> of course, ted, because we have seen this movie before. we saw it with hunter biden's own laptop. and suddenly 51 former intelligence officials magically appear forward and say oh that laptop is russian disinformation. oh, did you look at the laptop? have you seen the evidence? oh, no, of course not. it's a feeling that we have therefore we are all going to sign off on w. a letter and the media signs off on this see this means this is. this in this case devon archer coming forward oh, actually, this is a why you can't trust, this is a convicted felon. don't listen to anything he has to say even though he is hunter biden's former business partner. >>

it took the committee three tries to get archer to appear. he is now talking to house investigators, but archer would not talk with me. mr. archer, what do you intend to tell the committee today? you have anything to say? did you have meetings with the bidens and can you elaborate? >> did anyone tell you not to appear today, sir? >> fox has obtained text messages between hunter biden and devon archer dating back to 2018. hunter calls the doj mother blankers and he and archer will get the last laugh. key to the probe. democrats disagree. >> seems to be evolving from a fugitive agent of china whistleblower who now they are not talking about as the lynch pin and the star witness to irs agents. >> accused the doj from intimidating him to appear. he was convicted of bilking native americans out of millions. >> explosive letter on saturday, the bidens doj henchmen saying basically to devon archer, sure, you can do this interview with the oversight committee on monday but we are going to intimidate the witness before you do that. and i was just shoc

devin archer seems to be the guy that has been sold down the river. he's going to jail and has nothing to lose. from what i'm told, from his point of view, he's decided to comply with the request from the house oversight committee. it is not something he's chosen to throw himself into. he wants to tell the truth and get it off his chest and have it go away so he's not part of it anymore. >> laura: this will be transcribed interview, behind closed doors. we expect access to the transcript. thank you. that is one part of this unfolding saga, last week senator chuck grassley released fd 1023 summary of human source reporting that ukrainian oil and gas company burisma paid hunter and joe biden each $5 million in bribes. today "the federalist" reports the pittsburgh fbi office corroborated several details, among those pittsburgh office obtained travel records for the confidential human source and confirmed the locales detailed in the document, including kyiv, vienna, austria and london, despite pittsburgh fbi providing the delaware office with summary of t

archer: legally.side, their point about this testimony. but it doesn't look good. it's not a positive look. >> not at all. and fundamentally this is about credibility. how many times did we hear president biden saying he had no connection with any of his son's business partners but one thing we learned from the testimony that kimberley was alluding to he met with burisma executive at a popular restaurant. >> bret: cafe milano in washington, d.c. he had meetings not just phone calls or being on a speaker phone 20 times but actually had face-to-face meetings which is in contradiction with what the white house had been saying for quite some time. so when you hear those contradictions between what the official spin is from the white house and you see these revelations that contradict that spin, you know, it makes you wonder what else is there? >> bret: and that's what people want to know, mollie, where does this go? >> well, it's a problem not just for the biden family. it's also a problem for the departm

so who is devon archer?as tomlinson has that from the white house tonight. >> reporter: well, good evening, tammy. devon archer is expected to offer new details tomorrow morning about meetings he claims he witnessed where both hunter and his father attended together either in person or over the phone. on "sunday morning futures," the republican chairman of the house oversight committee claims the justice department is trying to intimidate his witness by ordering archer to surrender and bin a prison sentence in a separate matter. >> it's odd that it was or issued on a saturday, and it's odd that it's right before he's scheduled to come in to have an opportunity to speak in front of the house oversight committee and tell the american people the truth about what really went on with burisma. >> reporter: last year archer was sentenced to a year and a a day in jail for swindling a native american tribe out of $60 million many bonds. a judge ordered archer to pay more than $15 million in forfeiture and more than $

devon archer feels abandoned.he has nothing to lose by testifying and he will tell the world, the oversight committee that joe biden was very much involved in his son's overseas business dealings. hunter biden use to put him on the speakerphone regularly and that was hunter's party trick when he was with his overseas business partners or just showing them the access that made him work the millions they were paying to the vice president. devon archer was present during two dozen of these calls around the world. devon archer was present at at least two of the dinners. >> sean: coming up next, how did the media react when the plea deal paul part -- plea deal fell apart. we will show you the most outlandish reactions as we continue. salonpas lidocaine flex. a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks? salonpas, it's good medicine. way back in 1982 we took care of about forty kids and had to

they sent a notice calling for devin archer's snsz sentencing to be expedited. james comer is calling foul play. >> the letter from the department of justice trying to nudge the judge to go ahead and sentence devin archer for something unrelated to what we'll be talking to him about tomorrow, it is odd it was issued on a saturday and odd it is right before he scheduled to come into have an opportunity to speak in front of the house oversight committee and tell the american people the truth about what went on with burisma. i don't know if this is coincidence or weaponization of the department of justice. >> this is after tuesday appeals court upheld conviction and then the saturday memo comes and archer saying harris through his attorney to be clear, mr. archer does not agree with that speculation. >> harris: i have a couple questions, talking off camera, why in the world would they not not only does he come in when he feels like it, nothing they are threatening to do to him for any of those times. you can't lie to congress, okay. my other question, what deal did

archer gave a whole new light to what happened last week.remember wha last week, thishe deal they put together that the judge said, no deal. we'ry put e not going to do that because it was unprecedented. never seen anything like this. the dealver seen put together ws designed to keep burisma out of it. remember they didn't they weren't going to charge for 2014, 2015 tax year. they weren't going do the felony charges that there because that's burisma moneye and. the fara allegation that fara concern derives this this action that took place in dubai where hunterok pla biden is talg about how can the u.s. government they're asking hunter biden, how can the u.s. government intervene and help us in this situation? so now we have some some o more light on that terrible deal they tried to put together last weeto putk and why the jude appropriately so, ask questions and it's no longer going to happen 20 times the that they put biden on the phone was to talk to make pleasantries with hunter as friends and not assert or assure people thatt that the fa

devin archer told us on at least 20 phone calls in his presence and devon archer also was present atr biden invited his russian, ukrainian coagulatekazakhstany business p. people were giving him unless of dollars each side just says what makes their side look good it. sounds like what devon archer said hunter biden essentially used the speaker phone to his dad as a sales tool. it's like hey, look at this access. hire me. my dad is the president. i can just get him on the phone. >> exactly. and that's what he was selling, influence peddling, selling the influence of joe biden, who at that point as vice president had been basically given ukraine and china and russia by president obama. he was the most powerful man in the united states in those countries. and he wielded the power of the purse. you know, he withheld a billion dollars or threatened to withhold a billion dollars of u.s. aid from ukraine. unless they fired very prosecutor who was investigating the company that was paying his son $83,000 a month. and so it's really disingenuous of dan goldman and the other democrats to treat

archer also revealed that then v.p.ttend dinners with hunter's foreign business associates including one that took place in the spring of 2014 at the famous cafe milano in washington, d.c. now, that dinner was just weeks after burisma wired 3.5 million to an l.l.c. linked to hunter biden and his associates. and then there is this letter first revealed in tucker carlson's interview with devon archer in which vice president joe biden told archer in early 2011 that he was happy that he and hunter were partners. here is how senator josh hawley is going to respond. i can't wait. senator, which of these revelations strikes you as most important here? again, given the spin that we have heard that's evolved over time from both biden and his co-conspirator and the media? >> well, first of all, can i just say that it's not an allusion when the vice president of the united states shows up to dinner with hunter biden and the executives at burisma. when is he is actually there in person. i believe that devon archer testified that he

devon archer is calling him a liar. there was an influence effort going on in the biden family name was what was being sold and it brought protection and access to the foreign clients who wanted it. >> there is a growing cancer that'she emerging and growingar every day around the biden presidency. the walls are closing in and just as a reminder as they are doing energy deals with ukraine and china, on, on "good morning america" had no experience on ukraine and certainly not inchin china.po john solomonrt, thank you. matt whitaker, fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett. let's start with youstar tonigh. one of the things we've also been watching is the communist chinese buying up thousands and thousands of acres of ranchland, farmland and landed near military installations in this country.we e why on earth would we ever allow our number one geopolitical flow to do thati wo? i doubt i be allowed to buy make any landed in china for any reason whatsoever?ou can you hear me? >> the thing we need to understand -- i can hear you

devon archer news. >> she is also a fox news contributor. miranda.he white house's response today, they were ready for this question, the answer is the president was not, quote: "in business" with his son. how significant is that shift in rhetoric? original receipt repeated dnts joe biden original campaign and after when he said he knew nothing about his son's hunter overseas business dealings and whenever anybody asked him about it or the odd occasions that journalists got to him he would be very angry and very indignant about the idea that anyone would question his integrity. nwe see because devon archer is about to testify about what he witnessed and what joe biden knows that he witnessed about those meetings between hunter and joe biden and hunter's overseas business partners, they have changed their tune. thought line is joe biden is not in business with his son and you can bet that coming in the future they will be pausing the meaning of in business in glis when devon archer faced his own mere yacht adbusiness problems. hunter biden texted him

ril letthe wrote to archer abou2 years ago. >> joe biden thanked archer fors being in business with his son. >> quoteth h, happy you guys are together. py what was the real reasonca biden was so happy? well, because it wasuse it at thisfrom very moment when hunter and archer made a leap from lobbying into private equity. ga >> hunter the lobbying was risky. it exposeds risky, joe, but in e equity, you don't get paid direct fees for services. >> instead, clients become your investors. >> meaning hunter's clients were investors in the biden access program. >> the chinese, ukrainians, romanians, kazakhstan. he's invest in a fund that hunter takes withdrawals from. the whole biden family treated the fund like a piggy bank catching. this is why biden's department to give pardotryinge hunter immunity. it's basically like a full towaon and covers everythingcov but it's all coming out. we're barreling towardsewo impeachmenn't sut and joe bidenn survive the scrutiny. he can't. the american people despise his corruption. and joe biden does not have the political capital to powerpv through it. >>

deafen archer sat for an interview with the house oversight committee on monday.ormer president was indict on tuesday. >> it seems to me after you with learn of the real dealings behind the bidens, the next day he gets indicted. >> reporter: house republicans are threatening retribution. >> the devon archer transcript, i think, tells a lot about the corruption in the biden crime family. >> reporter: most democrats try to ignore gop accusations. it's unclear if the president faces a blind spot. >> the only thing that the biden administration could try to do is be cooperative and get the facts out as best they can. >> reporter: some republicans demand impeachment. >> when we get back in september, if there's not a clear path and a clear timeline for impeachment, i'm going to pull the trigger on that. >> reporter: democrats accuse republicans of a diversion. >> they have to change the subject, and they have nothing to offer the american people in terms of jobs. >> reporter: republicans want information from delaware u.s. attorney david weiss about hunter biden's plea

archer's testimony. we are going to read everything tomorrow congresswoman, thank you for joining us. we welcome you back to fill us in on what you guys learn. >> thank you. eric: take care. arthel: eric, thank you tomorrow the third person to face charges at mar-a-lago classified document case is set to be arraigned. carlos a long time mar-a-lago employee, the property manager is accused of trying to get security footage deleted in mr. trump's florida resort. reportedly at mr. trump's request. he was named a third defendant in a superseding indictment released on thursday. his family has reportedly said he feels like he was trapped for the new document also adds three additional charges for the former president on top of the 37 he is already facing. eric: georgia wife of former college football player in nfl player has been arrested and charged in the bahamas for allegedly plotting to kill her estranged husband. senior correspondent steve harrigan has more from atlanta on the shocking case. >> at his ri

he described archer as an arch enemy. miranda devine is a fox news contributor and author of the book laptop from hell. do you know, is archer mad? is he mad that he is the one facing jail time? is he mad he has been made to go through this and so far hunter biden looked like he would almost get a sweetheart plea deal and could that affect this interview he does today? >> look, i think the feeling is that he really doesn't have flying to lose. and also friends say that he feels that he is being hung out to dry and abandoned by the bidens and that's been a feeling he has had for a long time. now that his jail sentence is imminent he maintains his innocence and he feels i guess he didn't want to throw himself into the middle of this controversy but since he was asked to come and testify, he figured he would cooperate and just tell the truth. tell what he knows without fear or favor. i think he knows quite a lot. because he was, as hunter biden described him himself, hunter's best friend in business, hunter biden at one poin

these text messages, different deal than devon archer directlyth corroborate the story that devon archer was telling. all ofe stor us in that transcrm that came out today, biden family nam e was cash.as it was influence, it was access, it was protection. >> well, i mean, this is hugeos now. it seems and don't forget the whatsapp message. that's where i'm sitting here with my father was in with within less than$5 a week $5e ho million was transferred from the the head of the cfc, t the oil giant connectehed to the chinese government to the biden family. wasn't, after that whatsapp message exchange. >> absolutely. and there's other monies that are changing hands in the allocution documents tha cuments t weree just made public by the delaware court. you can download the plea deal and he's saying there'sting millions of dollars that hunter biden admits he's getting from the chinese just in six orthat.o seven i'm sorry, 17 and 18. now, think about that,n looked joe biden looked in the camera time and again say it's not true. my family didn'tmoney. his s gee money. his son is calling him a lia

that comes before devin archer revealed 20 interactions joe biden had, that occurred.e now is byron donalds. after what we heard from devin archer, we heard reported only a few people were allowed, to me, it makes doj look even more corrupt for almost getting away with that sweetheart plea deal with hunter biden last week. >> especially when you look at the fact that the fara violations were buried into this gun charge and now devin archer has come forward and confirms the fact hunter biden was operating as unregistered foreign agent, but his daddy, joe biden, was always on call. if my wife or my son say come to dinner, one of the first questions out of my mouth is who is at dinner. i don't just show up just because, especially if you are vice president of the united states. it is influence pedalling. it is corruption. >> laura: clear paper trail that joe biden would be stupid enough to allow to occur to go back to him to have a problem with how this obviously appears, at the least appears. >> no, they don't. they want to defend their man. when it was donald trump, the

what can we expect from devon archer?t overstate the importance of devon archer's testimony because this is by all accounts, his former close business partner expected to testify he bore firsthand witness. he is under his own prosecution facing possible prison sentence and has nothing to lose now but to tell the truth as this is being uncovered. two things happened, we are looking at devon archer's testimony, expected to say 2 dozen cases to hunter and his father, vice president biden on conference calls, the president is not in business with his son. a change in rhetoric, president biden said i knew nothing about my son's dealings, devon archer will connect the dots and put him on at least 2 dozen phone calls. rachel: that is a big lie that was told. >> that judge asked specifically the prosecution if hunter was under investigation for overseas dealings, she said yes. could you charge him with a foreign agent registration act and the prosecution said yes, defense said we are not in on this and the deal fell apart but tha

archer's victory today. all he did is what we said he would do, show up and answer the questions put to him honestly and completely. mr. archer shared the truth with the committee and we'll leave to them and others to decide what to do with it. katie, last word. >> we're going to see the transcripts from this so people can read through them and come up with their own opinion about who won and who lost, what the victories were. what we know based on today, dan goldman is a forceful attorney. if you're watching, you at least think he's making a compelling argument. blaming the weather is not a very compelling argument. he was nervous and sweaty. for years we've asked this question, what was hunter biden's business? what was he doing when he went to china or serving on the board of burisma getting paid $80,000 a month? what was the biden business? it said it was legitimate. it wasn't a fara violation. we learned today that the biden family business was helping burisma build their brand. that included vice presi

after devon archer's testimony today the biden doj it's possible looks even more corrupt.ht committee member byron donalds is here next to tell us why. ♪ president biden, in ukraine and that he was a man of the highest integrity, who only advocated on behalf of the united states. >> democrats might believe that, but the american people are paying attention. 60% of voters believed biden has been part of an illegal cover-up to hide his involvement in his son hunter's foreign business deals and that comes before devon archer revealed the 20 interactions joe had with hunter's business clientele, that occurred. joining me now is a member of the house oversight committee. after what we heard from devon archer, only a few people were allowed as part of that proceeding. it makes the doj look more corrupt for almost getting away with that sweetheart plea deal with hunter biden last week. >> that plea deal was designed to cover up the corruption surrounding joe biden and his family. especially when you look at the facts that the violations were buried in this gun charge and now what

why did devon archer flip?is going to prison and thought, being hunter's best buddy would keep him out of prison. he cannot be happy with hunter biden. here is a text he sent to hu hunter. why did the administration appointees arrest me and try to put me in jail. some of our partners asking out here. why would they try and ruin my family and destroy my kids and no one from your family steps in and try to help me. i don't get it. devon archer was sentenced to a year in prison for stealing $60,000 from an indian tribe. hunter biden was part of that deal and was the only one not to get indicted. everybody in biden's orbit arrested in prison or they are missing. before his testimony, his department of justice sent a letter to devon archer's judge telling him it is time for devon to report to prison. this comes on the heels of us learning about another house republican that says biden has foreign bank accounts that are under investigation. >> when we pulled up the first suspicious activity reports, we realize there
