On Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump pardoned Devon Archer, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of defrauding a Native American tribe.
Archer played a pivotal role as an informant in House Republicans’ investigations into then-President Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s foreign business dealings. President Trump, upon signing the pardon, remarked, “I think he was treated very unfairly… he was a victim of a crime, as far as I’m concerned.”
“Congratulations, Devon,” Trump added.
The New York Post reports:
Archer, a father of three, told The Post he was grateful to Trump and his family for sticking by him — and also to Tony Bobulinski, another former Biden family associate who came forward to corroborate information about different foreign dealings allegedly involving Joe Biden.
“I want to extend my deepest thanks to President Trump. I am grateful to the president for recognizing that I was the victim of a convoluted lawfare effort intended to destroy and silence me,” Archer said.
“Like so many people, my life was devastated by the Biden family’s selfish disregard for the truth and for the peace of mind and happiness of others. The Bidens talk about justice, but they don’t mean it.”
Archer added: “I want to thank my wife from the bottom of my heart for keeping the family intact in these fragile years. I never wanted any of this brought upon my family, [but] I now have the opportunity to return my full focus to family, friends and professional life.”
The pardon comes amid a flurry of new executive actions taken by the president, which also included initiatives aimed at overhauling election security measures. (RELATED: Trump’s New Executive Order Is The Left’s Worst Nightmare)
