Supreme Court Rejects Devon Archer's Appeal
Archer, Hunter Biden's former business partner, faces prison term after failed bid to overturn fraud conviction.
- Devon Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden, has lost his appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn his criminal conviction for securities fraud.
- Archer was convicted in 2018 for defrauding a Native American tribe by fraudulently issuing and selling over $60 million of tribal bonds.
- The Supreme Court's refusal to hear Archer's case means his conviction stands and he is closer to serving his prison term.
- Archer was initially sentenced to a year and a day in prison, but he has challenged the sentence.
- Hunter Biden was not involved in the scheme, but Archer has become a key figure in House Republicans’ investigation into Biden’s business dealings.
