Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) shared his takeaways from Devon Archer’s testimony to the House Oversight Committee.
The senator scoffed at the notion that President Joe Biden’s participation, while vice president, with Hunter Biden’s Burisma company and executives was once classified as “an illusion.” Instead, Archer testified that Joe Biden appeared for dinners with the executives and ate with them. Hawley appeared on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle to accuse the entire administration of lying about Joe Biden’s involvement.

“What this shows us, Laura, is that everything Biden has said and the White House has parroted is a total lie. They said, ‘Oh, he never discussed any of this with Hunter.’ False,” Hawley said. “Now we know he not only discussed it and he himself had the contacts with the Burisma executives, Joe Biden himself was there, physically, in the room with the executives. At the time, as you pointed out, they are paying his son to get this prosecutor off their back, which, of course, we know Joe Biden later did for them.”
Hawley went as far as to recommend an impeachment inquiry in the clip he shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. He expressed his hope that the White House “cooperate fully and get the facts ASAP.”
“This blows up everything the White House said, and it just shows we will have to have an impeachment inquiry to get the facts and to figure out: ‘Is the president a crook?'” Hawley said. “Because, by the day, it looks more and more like it.”

Archer was convicted in July 2018 on two felony charges for his role in a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe. Despite being sentenced in 2022, he has avoided prison time due to a series of appeals his defense has filed.
The Oversight Committee issued Archer three subpoenas since June, which he missed until his testimony on Monday. It has since added to the investigation surrounding the Justice Department’s intervention in Hunter Biden’s legal case.
