Longtime Biden associate and business partner Devon Archer is on Capitol Hill Monday for closed door testimony in front of the House Oversight Committee. According to Committee Republicans, Democrats are panicking over what he said.
Archer confirmed he was on more than 20 phone calls with President Joe Biden -- Biden continues to claim he has never spoken to Hunter Biden's business associates and wasn't involved in their foreign scheming.
Further, Archer reportedly said Hunter Biden put his father on the phone to "sell the brand" of Burisma -- a notoriously corrupt Ukrainian company. Joe Biden was vice president at the time of those calls and Hunter was being paid $80,000 per month to sit on the board.
The White House and Democrats are in full panic mode after today’s testimony from Devon Archer.

A transcript of Archer's testimony is expected to be released later this week, but Republican and Democratic lawmakers are already giving a preview.
Hunter continued, “Every great family is persecuted prosecuted in the us- you are part of a great family--not a side show not deserted by them even in your darkest moments. Thats the way Bidens are different and you are a Biden. Its the price of power.and the people questioning…

Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman says Hunter Biden did, in fact, frequently put his dad on speakerphone for his business partners — but they were only talking about the weather pic.twitter.com/HoJ5EKYOEc

Democrats are also moving the goal posts on what Joe Biden knew, who he spoke to and how often. Congressman Dan Goldman looked visibly shaken while he tried to spin the situation.
Joe Biden actually did say he “never spoke to” Hunter Biden about his business dealings. Now that he’s been caught lying about the corruption, Dems like Goldman are arguing Biden talking to Hunter’s business partners (also his business partners) was normal. https://t.co/X8wTvqyGtI
