Trump Pardons Devon Archer, Hunter Biden Associate and Congressional Witness

Trump pardoned Devon Archer on March 25, 2025, a former business partner of Hunter Biden sentenced to one year and one day for conspiracy to commit securities fraud involving fraudulent tribal bonds belonging to the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Archer had testified as a key congressional witness for the Republican-led House impeachment inquiry into the Biden family, claiming Hunter Biden sold the "illusion of access" to his father. Trump framed the pardon as relief from unjust treatment, despite Archer's guilty plea and $43.4 million restitution order.
