Rep. James Comer (R-KY) reacted to the Department of Justice writing a letter requesting a sentencing date for a witness to testify before Comer's committee.
Comer admitted while in an interview with Maria Baritomo on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures that the timing of the letter, regarding the sentence of Hunter Biden's ex-business partner Devon Archer, that was sent to the Southern District of New York was"odd," as it was a Saturday. According to the four-term Kentucky representative, it was"the first time I’ve ever heard of the Department of Justice doing anything on a Saturday.
Previously, Archer was convicted in July 2018 on two felony charges for his role in a conspiracy to defraud a Native American tribe. Despite being sentenced in 2022, he has avoided prison time due to a series of appeals that his defense has filed. Archer has missed three previous subpoenas since June from the Oversight committee, which Comer chairs. His testimony is anticipated to add to the investigation surrounding the DOJ's intervention in Hunter Biden's legal case.
Hunter Biden had agreed to a plea deal for two misdemeanor counts of willful failure to pay income taxes and agreed to a diversion program to have his gun charge dismissed, only to have the plea deal dismissed by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Norieka.Last week, the House Oversight and Accountability Committee was able to personally direct questions to IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joe Ziegler.
