President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed a pardon for former first son Hunter Biden’s business partner Devon Archer.

“I think he was treated very unfairly,” Trump said before signing the pardon, according to The New York Post.

Archer became one of the key witnesses in the impeachment inquiry into Hunter's father, President Joe Biden, having been a close associate of the first son for years.

In 2023, Archer testified to the House Oversight Committee that he witnessed Hunter Biden introduce his father, whether in person or over the phone to several foreign business partners, including a Russian oligarch, a Chinese fund manager, and Ukrainian energy company executives.

Archer was convicted of securities fraud and conspiracy to commit the same in 2018 in a Manhattan federal court as part of a tribal bonds scheme.
