Devon Archer on Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s influence, and proximity to power | The Moynihan Report

In this episode of the The Moynihan report, Michael sits down with Devon Archer for an in-depth look at the intersection of high finance and political influence. Archer, a Yale graduate and former Citibank employee, details his transition from a baby bundler for the John Kerry campaign to a central figure in the business dealings of Hunter Biden. The conversation explores the formation of Rosemont Seneca Partners, a joint venture between Archer, Biden, and Chris Heinz, which aimed to leverage political connections to raise capital and find deal flow. This partnership eventually led them to the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian oil and gas company that Archer describes as a national champion in energy independence, despite its murky history. Archer provides critical clarity on the true nature of the Biden brand during his tenure at Burisma, explaining that Hunter Biden's primary value was providing a sense of American power to protect the company from regulatory pressure. He confirms that Joe Biden was placed on speakerphone during business dinners and meetings approximately 20 times to exchange niceties and words of encouragement. While Joe Biden did not discuss specific business transactions, Archer characterizes the former Vice President's repeated claims of being unaware of his son's business dealings as a categorical lie, citing a personal letter Joe Biden wrote to him thanking him for the partnership. The interview also dives into the controversial firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin. Archer reveals that while he was initially fed a narrative that Shokin's removal was bad for Burisma because the company had him handled, he now believes the big reset actually provided the company and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, with several years of much-needed breathing room. Archer also notes a suspicious nine-month gap in the Hunter Biden laptop communications that corresponds precisely with this hot period surrounding the Shokin firing. Finally, Archer discusses his own legal downfall and the eventual pardon he received from Donald Trump. He recounts being targeted by the Southern District of New York in a fraudulent bond scheme, an investigation he believes was fueled by Biden loyalists and political lawfare. Archer describes the harrowing experience of being subpoenaed and arrested, noting that Hunter Biden's legal team successfully lobbied to keep Biden out of the case while Archer was squeezed by prosecutors. Ultimately, Archer explains how he turned to conservative media and the Trump campaign to preserve his family, viewing the pardon as the culmination of a series of miracles that allowed him to reclaim his life after a decade of legal scrutiny. -- The Moynihan Report is an in-depth 1-on-1 interview program broadcast live from 2WAY’s New York studio on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-8pm EST.
