Staff Reports
In a stunning move that has left many in the political landscape scratching their heads, former President Donald Trump has pardoned Devon Archer, an ex-business associate of Hunter Biden. For those not paying close attention, Archer isn’t just your run-of-the-mill associate; he’s the guy who spilled the beans to House investigators about how Hunter brought then-Vice President Joe Biden into the mix on various business calls. It almost sounds like a plot twist in a soap opera titled, “How to Leverage Family for Profit.”
White House staff secretary Will Scharf laid the groundwork for this pardon, providing an overview that hinted at the underlying injustice of Archer’s prosecution, which seemed to take a sharp turn once he began cooperating with Congress. One can’t help but notice the classic case of “the heat is on” when someone starts talking—especially when that someone is tied to the Biden dynasty. Scharf painted a picture of Archer as a victim of prosecutorial overreach, suggesting that political motivations might not be too far behind.
Trump himself has weighed in on the matter, declaring Archer a victim of circumstance. With a twinkle in his eye, he mentioned that many people urged him to issue the pardon. This is the same Trump who rolled back other unjust legal decisions, so it’s no surprise he would take a stand for someone willing to lay it all down about Hunter Biden’s dealings. While others might see a tangled web of deceit and privilege, Trump sees just another American needing a helping hand in a system that can be as fair as a game of Monopoly played by the rules of the Democratic Party.

Meanwhile, Archer had his moment in the spotlight, appearing on Fox News to recount his unexpected face time with Trump at an NCAA wrestling championship. The imagery of Archer leaping over the railing like some sort of modern-day gladiator to greet the former president is hard to forget. After all, wrestling and politics have more in common than one might think—both involve grappling for positions and trying to avoid getting pinned down by the opposition. With many protesters calling for fairness and justice, it must have felt like a scene out of a Roman arena where the crowd’s approval can spell life or death.
Of course, Archer didn’t miss the opportunity to portray himself as the ultimate victim in this tale of financial fraud, claiming he was merely a pawn in a bigger game involving Hunter. In a world where fraudsters seem to wear their hair like a bad toupee, it should come as no surprise that he believed he deserved a pardon. After all, when the going gets tough, the tough start pointing fingers, and in this case, Hunter was the obvious target. Archer’s testimony suggesting that his buddy Hunter made over 20 calls with his dad to seal business deals portrays a family affair that is, at least in the eyes of the public, too juicy to ignore.
As the dust settles from this surprising political maneuver, it’s clear that the Biden family may want to keep a closer eye on their circle of friends. With Trump making moves like this one, the layers of political intrigue are only just beginning to peel away, revealing a not-so-shiny truth about connections, power, and the chaos that can ensue when those in the elite class decide to peddle their names for profit. The real question becomes not just who is next in line for a pardon, but what other secrets might tumble out from the shadows of powerful political dynasties.
