During a confidential interview with the House Oversight Committee, Devon Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden, has contradicted the Biden campaign’s repeated denials and confirmed that then-Vice President Joe Biden was indeed present at the notorious spring 2015 dinner with Hunter’s foreign business associates. Archer disclosed that Biden not only attended the dinner but also engaged in conversation and shook hands with everyone, including “Vadym P. from Burisma.” The dinner, which took place at a high-end restaurant in Washington, D.C., came into the spotlight due to a New York Post article in 2020, exposing Hunter Biden’s introduction of his father to a top Burisma executive, where Hunter held a board position and allegedly received significant payments.
Prior to Archer’s testimony, Biden’s close aides, including current White House spokesperson Andrew Bates, vehemently denied the existence of the meeting, citing Biden’s official schedules as evidence. However, Archer’s interview transcript confirms Biden’s active involvement in the dinner event, contradicting the narrative advanced by the Biden campaign, which dismissed it as a Russian disinformation effort. The disclosure of Biden’s presence raises further concerns about the Biden family’s international business engagements and their level of transparency regarding such matters.
