QUICK FACTS:
- First son Hunter Biden’s business partner in Burisma Holdings, Devon Archer, has made dozens of international trips during his indictment and conviction.
- Court records reported by Just The News indicate that Archer has taken upwards of 40 international trips since he was first charged by federal prosecutors, including trips to China and Turks and Caicos.
- Archer was indicted in 2016 on charges of security fraud and convicted two years later for his role in fleecing an Indian tribe.
- More than half of the trips were made since Archer was convicted on two felony counts in 2018, most recently a trip to Jamaica which was approved by District Judge Ronnie Abrams
DETAILS OF THE TRIPS:
- Of the dozens of trips that Archer has taken, it appears that some have been business and some have been personal.

BACKGROUND:
- Federal prosecutors and courts are known to seize passports and put travel restrictions on those charged or convicted of crimes, as was done for the defendants of the Jan. 6 cases, in order to eliminate any flight risk.
- Such was the case when Judge Abram’s husband was a federal prosecutor in the Robert Mueller Russia investigation when that team restricted travel and took possession of the passports for Paul Manafort and his business partner Rick Gates.
- Abrams, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, has plenty of social connections in the New York business world, including famous First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams and TV legal analyst Dan Abrams.
- According to his attorney’s letter, requesting relief for travel to Jamaica in November of 2021, the court has granted every travel request Archer has submitted.
