A former business associate of Hunter Biden testified on Monday to Congress that President Biden and his son were in near daily communication and that the younger Biden would occasionally put his father on speakerphone at business dinners and in other situations, according to lawmakers present for the closed-door briefing.
The associate, Devon Archer, said that Joe Biden and his son never discussed business on these calls, only engaging in casual conversation about such things as the weather. But the testimony paints a more detailed picture of how Hunter Biden may have highlighted his close relationship with his father as part of his pitch to potential clients and raises fresh questions about how much Joe Biden was aware of his son’s overseas business ventures.
