Devon Archer, a former Burisma board member and business partner of Hunter Biden, has canceled scheduled depositions before the House Oversight Committee three times, leaving committee leadership to try and figure out what’s next.

Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued a subpoena in June for Archer to appear for a deposition as part of the committee's investigation into the Biden family's finances, with an original deadline of June 16. He would miss this deadline. In total, Archer has canceled on the committee three times, Comer told the Washington Examiner on Thursday. He added that he and committee staff are trying to figure out what to do next to compel him to testify since they have already issued a subpoena.

“Our teams remain in communication and are working on a date,” a spokesperson for the committee said.

In the subpoena sent to Archer, Comer said he wants him to testify before the Oversight Committee because they have “identified Mr. Archer as possessing information relevant to its investigation.

“Mr. Archer’s testimony is critical to the Committee’s investigation. Mr. Archer was Hunter Biden’s business partner in a number of transactions involving foreign nationals and foreign companies,” Comer told Archer’s lawyer in a letter. “Mr. Archer is associated with corporate entities that the Committee has identified and the Biden family’s role in each of them. Furthermore, he has significant information regarding the purpose of these companies and knowledge of relevant documents related to the Committee’s investigation.”

Archer worked alongside Hunter Biden for the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm before both of them became board members of Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company, in 2014.

But, in 2018, Archer was convicted in connection to a fraudulent bond scheme involving a Native American tribe. In 2022, he was sentenced to over a year in prison.

In the letter to Archer’s attorney, Comer said that Archer “played a significant role in the Biden family’s business deals abroad, including but not limited to China, Russia, and Ukraine,” which is what the committee is currently investigating.

The Oversight Committee is specifically focusing on allegations made to a paid FBI informant that Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma, paid $5 million to then Vice President Joe Biden and $5 million to Hunter Biden to pressure the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma.

As recorded in an FBI document, which was released to the public on Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Zlochevsky is alleged to have told an FBI informant that “it costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden.”

“Zlochevsky made some comment that although Hunter Biden ‘was stupid, and his [Zlochevsky's] dog was smarter,’ Zlochevsky needed to keep Hunter Biden [on the board] so everything will be OK."

Next week is the last week before the month-long August recess, meaning members of the committee hope to get Archer’s deposition in before then.
