Witness Testimony Contradicts Claims of "Illusion of Access"

According to a tweet from RNC Research, during a recent hearing, the witness, Kevin Archer, was questioned about Hunter Biden's involvement in selling the "illusion of access." Archer acknowledged that there were contacts between Hunter Biden and business associates, but emphasized that no material discussions took place. He also revealed that Hunter Biden put his father, Joe Biden, on speaker phone around 20 times during these meetings, although the conversations were casual and unrelated to business matters. Archer further stated that Joe Biden attended some dinners with his son's foreign business associates.

Rep. Mark Green Comments on Joe Biden's Involvement

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) has made a statement regarding the recent revelations about Devon Archer, a business associate of Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden. According to Green, it has been learned that Joe Biden would attend his son's business dinners and frequently participate in business meetings via speakerphone. Green argues that this indicates a level of access and involvement by Joe Biden in his son's business dealings, rather than just the appearance of access.
