Trump Delivers Justice for Biden Whistleblower
In a stunning move that underscores his commitment to exposing the Biden family’s alleged corruption, President Donald Trump has announced a full and unconditional pardon for Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden. The announcement came during the NCAA wrestling championship finals in Philadelphia on March 22, 2025, where Trump was warmly welcomed by the crowd.
“He’s getting a full pardon,” Trump declared, referring to Archer who had been entangled in a decade-long legal battle stemming from a securities fraud case. The meeting where this pardon was promised was arranged by Tony Bobulinski, another former Hunter Biden business associate who turned whistleblower after exposing alleged corruption within the Biden family’s international business network.
The Biden Connection and Congressional Testimony
Archer gained prominence when he testified before the House Oversight Committee during their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s business affairs. His testimony revealed multiple instances where Hunter Biden would put his father on speakerphone during business meetings with foreign partners, directly contradicting Joe Biden’s repeated claims that he had “never discussed” his son’s business dealings.
The securities fraud case that led to Archer’s conviction curiously omitted Hunter Biden despite evidence of his involvement in the tribal bonds scheme. Hunter was initially a target of the investigation according to multiple sources but faced no charges while Archer was sentenced to prison after his conviction was overturned and then reinstated in a series of controversial court decisions.
Whistleblower Claims Political Retaliation
Upon learning of Trump’s pardon decision, Archer expressed profound gratitude and claimed he had been victimized by what he described as a “convoluted lawfare effort” orchestrated by the Biden family. “I want to extend my deepest thanks to President Trump,” Archer stated, making it clear he believes his legal troubles were retribution for speaking out against the powerful political family.
The pardon announcement comes after Joe Biden had already pardoned his son Hunter for any crimes related to Ukrainian dealings before leaving office. This stark contrast in treatment between Hunter Biden and his former business associates has fueled criticism about a two-tiered justice system that protects politically connected individuals while punishing those who speak out against them.
In a poignant statement, Archer also thanked his wife “from the bottom of my heart for keeping the family intact in these fragile years,” highlighting the personal toll the legal battles have taken. Meanwhile, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, who exposed Department of Justice obstruction in the tax investigation of Hunter Biden, has been promoted to Deputy Chief of IRS criminal investigations, suggesting a shift in how whistleblowers are being treated in the current administration.
