Washington — President Trump on Tuesday signed a pardon for Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's former business partner who testified before Congress about his business dealings with the former president's son.
Archer was convicted in 2018 for his connection to a scheme to fraudulently issue more than $60 million of tribal bonds to a the business arm of South Dakota-based Native American tribe. He was sentenced to a year and a day in prison. Archer appealed his case, taking it all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 2024 refused to hear his attempt to overturn his conviction.
As Mr. Trump prepared to sign the pardon, Trump staff secretary Will Scharf said "the tone and tenor" of the case against Archer "changed dramatically after he began to cooperate with congressional investigators and serve as a witness against Hunter Biden and the Biden family."
