Over the weekend, it appeared that the DOJ would once again rear its ugly head by interfering with planned testimony from ex-Hunter Biden business associate Devon Archer. Reports were widely circulated that the DOJ was attempting to have Archer report to prison.
Now Garland & Co. are claiming that’s not true.
From The Daily Wire:
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.
The federal prosecutor said the process of a defendant surrendering and commencing a prison sentence, which includes being designated to a federal facility by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, could take several weeks or months after a date is set.
“Nonetheless, for the avoidance of all doubt, the Government requests that any surrender date, should the Court order one, be scheduled to occur after the defendant’s Congressional testimony is complete,” Williams said.
Archer was seen arriving to meet with the House Oversight Committee early Monday.
