Congressional Republicans have subpoenaed Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devon Archer, demanding he sit for a deposition this week.
The Oversight Committee has been investigating the business dealings of several members of President Joe Biden's family. Kentucky Republican James Comer wrote in a letter to an attorney for Archer stating that he "played a significant role in the Biden family's business deals abroad, including but not limited to China, Russia, and Ukraine."
"Additionally, while undertaking these ventures with the Biden family, your client met with then-Vice President Biden on multiple occasions, including in the White House," wrote Comer, the Oversight Committee chairman.
