One of Hunter Biden’s former business partners “cooperated completely” with the
feds in their probe of the first son’s tax filings, The Post has learned.

Devon Archer, who is awaiting sentencing in an unrelated fraud case, is among
four people reportedly referenced in a May 15, 2019, subpoena — first reported
by The Post — sent to JPMorgan Chase Bank for records related to any
transactions involving the Bank of China.

The others include James Biden, a younger brother of President Joe Biden.

A partial copy of the subpoena was posted online by the “Marco Polo USA”
research group headed by Garrett Ziegler, who worked as a White House policy
analyst under former President Donald Trump.

“Mr. Archer was not aware of this specific subpoena from 2019, which appears
directed to a bank,” his lawyer, Matthew Schwartz, told The Post in an
email Monday.  

“But Mr. Archer has cooperated completely with the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s
Office investigation from the moment he became aware of it.”

Devon Archer was one of the four people referenced in Biden’s 2019 subpoena.

Hunter Biden disclosed that federal prosecutors in Delaware were “investigating
my tax affairs” in December 2020, about a month after his dad was elected but
before he took office.

The subpoena was issued by a federal grand jury, according to a cover letter
signed by Delaware Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf and addressed to JPMorgan’s
National Subpoena Processing Center in Indianapolis.

It demanded “records, documents and accounts” pertaining to payments from or to
the Bank of China and involving Hunter Biden, his uncle James Biden, Archer and
Eric Schwerin, another former business partner of Hunter Biden’s.

The subpoena also sought banking records involving 15 companies, many of which
have been tied to the men.

They included Bohai Harvest RST, a Chinese investment firm in which Hunter Biden
held a 10 percent stake, and Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy firm on whose
board both Hunter Biden and Archer formerly sat.

Burisma paid Hunter Biden as much as $1 million a year while his dad was vice
president, according to emails on his infamous, abandoned laptop.

Under terms of the subpoena, the banking records were due to the grand jury
within a month.

In 2018, a Manhattan federal jury convicted Archer and two co-defendants in a
securities fraud scheme involving the sale of $60 million worth of bonds by the
Oglala Sioux Indian tribe.

The verdict against Archer was later overturned by the trial judge but
reinstated by an appeals court in 2020.

The subpoena also requested records related to companies including Bursima

In November, the US Supreme Court refused to consider the case and Archer is set
for sentencing on Feb. 28.

A source close to Archer said that he hasn’t received a “target letter” in the
tax probe of Hunter Biden and has been told that he isn’t under investigation in
that matter.

A spokesperson for Delaware US Attorney David Weiss declined to comment, as did
a spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer, James Biden and the RSP Investments firm in Washington,
DC, where Schwerin is registered as a broker and has been identified as its
president, didn’t immediately return requests for comment.
