The House Oversight Committee heard testimony from Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, on Monday. Archer testified that the value of adding Hunter Biden to Burisma's board was "the brand" and that the then-vice president brought the most value to "the brand." However, after two hours of questioning, there was still no connection between Hunter Biden's business dealings and President Biden, despite Republican attempts to link the two.
A document from the House Oversight Committee has been released that refutes Republican claims of a bribery scheme between Joe Biden and a foreign national. The document is a 2019 questionnaire filled out by Mykola Zlochevsky, denying any contact with Joe Biden or assistance from his staff. Democrats have argued that the evidence in the document shows there is no evidence of a bribery scheme between Joe Biden and Zlochevsky. The document is likely to be a key piece of evidence in the ongoing Trump impeachment investigation.
Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two counts of willful failure to pay federal income taxes on over $1.5 million in income earned in 2017 and 2018. He will also enter a pretrial diversion agreement on a gun charge, and his attorney has stated that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved. The plea agreement is expected to be finalized in the coming weeks, though it is unclear if Hunter Biden will face any jail time or other penalties.
