Devon Archer, once a close friend and business partner of Hunter Biden, has become a vocal critic of the Biden family. After years of legal battles, Archer was pardoned by President Donald Trump in March 2025. He now openly supports Trump’s “America First” agenda, calling himself “full MAGA now.”
Archer and Hunter Biden worked together for over a decade, starting investment firms like Rosemont Seneca and serving on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma. During this time, Archer says Joe Biden’s name was used as a “brand” to intimidate foreign governments and protect Burisma from legal trouble. Archer claims Hunter would put his father on speakerphone during business meetings to show power and access.
In 2018, Archer was convicted for defrauding a Native American tribe out of millions through fake bond schemes. Despite appeals, his sentence was upheld until Trump stepped in. Archer says the Bidens abandoned him after he testified to Congress about their dealings. “Joe promised to protect me, but they left me to rot,” he said in a recent interview.
Trump’s pardon came after Archer began cooperating with congressional investigators probing the Biden family’s foreign business ties. The former president called Archer a victim of “Biden corruption” and said the Justice Department targeted him unfairly. Archer now praises Trump for “draining the swamp” and restoring fairness to the legal system.
Archer’s story highlights what conservatives call the “two-tiered justice system.” While Hunter Biden avoided prison despite tax crimes and gun charges, Archer faced harsh penalties until Trump intervened. Critics argue this shows how politically connected elites escape accountability while everyday Americans suffer.
The Biden family has denied wrongdoing, but Archer’s testimony adds fuel to claims they used political influence for profit. Republicans point to bank records showing over $20 million flowed to Biden-linked accounts from foreign sources during Joe Biden’s vice presidency. Archer says these deals relied on the “Biden brand” to scare off regulators.
Since his pardon, Archer has become a regular on conservative media, slamming the Bidens and promoting Trump’s 2025 agenda. He credits Trump with giving him a “second chance” and vows to expose more corruption. “The deep state protected the Bidens, but truth is coming out,” he told Newsmax.
Archer’s transformation from Biden insider to MAGA ally symbolizes the growing divide in American politics. His case energizes Trump supporters who see it as proof of systemic bias. As the 2025 investigations continue, Archer promises more revelations about what he calls “the Biden crime family.”
