Archer testified 'Biden brand' kept Burisma from going under sooner, lawmaker says

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) said Devon Archer testified that Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company where he and Hunter Biden were board members, would have gone under sooner if it wasn’t for the “Biden brand” being involved.

During his testimony before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee's staff, Archer testified that the Biden family, specifically then-Vice President Joe Biden, was key to Burisma staying afloat.

“One of the most interesting statements that was made was, I'll give you a rough paraphrase of it, but that Burisma would have gone under without the participation of the Biden brand,” Biggs said. “Upon questioning the Biden brand, it is not Jill or Jim or anybody. It is Joe Biden. Now what he meant by that, the term he used, is that people would probably not be as inclined to legally lean on Burisma because of the Biden brand.”
