The Department of Justice (DOJ) insisted that its prison request for Hunter Biden‘s former business partner, Devon Archer, would not affect plans for him to testify behind closed doors before a House committee on Monday.
United States Attorney Damian Williams sent a second letter to a judge in the Southern District of New York on Sunday after Republicans on the House Oversight Committee raised concerns about the timing of his first letter on Saturday, which urged the court to pick a date for Archer to begin a prison sentence.
“To be clear, the Government does not request (and has never requested) that the defendant surrender before his Congressional testimony,” Williams wrote in the letter shared to X by New York Post columnist Miranda Devine.
