Hunter Biden scandal: Devon Archer transcript exposes media peddling Dem 'illusion of access' talking point
News outlets falsely attributed a quote from Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., to Hunter Biden's business associate

In the wake of last week's highly-anticipated testimony of Hunter Biden's former business associate, the legacy media went to great lengths to downplay its severity and potential fallout for President Biden, specifically by elevating a quote allegedly said by the witness.
Devon Archer, the longtime friend and colleague of the beleaguered Biden son, testified in a closed-door setting to the House Oversight Committee as part of its ongoing investigation into the Biden family's shady foreign business dealings and whether they're tied to the president.
It did not take long for lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to leak details from the testimony to the press with Republicans ramping up corruption allegations towards Biden while Democrats rejecting the notion that there were any bombshell revelations.
But there was one leak in particular from Democrats that made the rounds in the news cycle: Hunter Biden was selling the "illusion of access" to his father.
