SHOT: House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Archer delivered “bombshell testimony,” claiming that “This is more evidence that points directly to Joe Biden.” Rep. James Comer: “This was a bombshell today. This is more evidence that points directly to Joe Biden. The number of crimes that the Biden family has committed continues to grow and more and more evidence shows that Joe Biden knew exactly what was going on.” [Twitter, Video, 7/31/23]
CHASER: Washington Post: Devon Archer said the opposite of what Republicans claimed. “That’s the pattern here. Comer and Jordan and others hype claims of Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter Biden’s work only to see those claims collapse as more information is made public. Devon Archer’s testimony was hailed as a central breakthrough in implicating Joe Biden. Instead, it has a top ally of Hunter Biden stating under penalty of perjury that Joe Biden was not involved in Hunter Biden’s business and that Biden’s trip to Ukraine in 2015 was not centered on protecting Burisma at all.” [Washington Post, 8/3/23]
