A longtime friend and former business partner of Hunter Biden will attempt to appeal his fraud conviction on Tuesday as a separate federal investigation into President Joe Biden’s son’s taxes and business dealings continues.
Devon Archer, who worked with Hunter Biden for the Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm before both men joined the board of Ukrainian energy giant Burisma in 2014, was convicted in 2018 in connection with a fraudulent bond scheme aimed at swindling a Native American tribe, and he was sentenced to just over a year in prison in February 2022.
Archer, who was also ordered by a Manhattan federal judge to forfeit more than $15.7 million and to join his co-defendants in paying $43.4 million in restitution to the victims of the fraud, appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and a trio of circuit judges will hear his argument Tuesday morning.
Judge Richard Sullivan, appointed to the appeals court by former President Donald Trump in 2018, Judge William Nardini, appointed to the court by Trump in 2019, and Judge Myrna Perez, appointed by Joe Biden in 2021, will hear Archer’s appeal.
