As Hunter Biden’s legal and public relations strategy takes an even more pugilistic turn, one of his attorneys is now telling members of Congress that they cannot trust the word of a former Biden business associate, Devon Archer, whom the first son’s team is now referring to as “an inmate.” Archer and Mr. Biden were close friends and partners in international business affairs for years. 

In a letter sent to the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday announcing the first son would publicly testify, Mr. Biden’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, describes Archer as “an inmate convicted for his involvement in a tribal bond scheme that never involved Hunter.”
