Archer's testimony at the House Oversight Committee is particularly revealing. He confirmed that Hunter frequently enlisted the assistance of then-Vice President Joe Biden concerning Ukrainian Prosecutor Viktor Shokin.

 While some left-leaning "fact-check" articles dispute the notion that Shokin was investigating Burisma, Archer asserted that Shokin indeed posed a threat to the company. Shokin's actions included seizing assets belonging to Burisma's owner, Nikolai Zlochevsky, including properties and vehicles.

Numerous individuals have corroborated Archer's testimony, including Shokin himself and an FBI informant. The informant, a “credible source,” alleged that Burisma CEO Zlochevsky paid the Bidens a staggering $10,000,000 in exchange for Shokin's dismissal.

Shokin's court order on February 2, 2016, which resulted in the seizure of Zlochevsky's property, led to his termination roughly two months later on March 29. Biden, in a self-congratulatory tone, openly boasted about demanding Shokin's removal, threatening to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine if his demand was not met. This move effectively prevented Shokin from continuing to seize Zlochevsky's assets and investigating the company where Hunter and Archer held influential positions.

The controversy deepens as Shokin unequivocally stated, "My firm personal conviction is that, yes, this was the case" when asked if Joe Biden or Hunter Biden received bribes.

Despite these alarming revelations, major media outlets have staunchly defended Biden. A left-leaning "fact-check" by USA Today contends that Joe Biden's leverage of $1 billion in aid to remove Viktor Shokin in March 2016 was unrelated to the Burisma investigation but instead aimed at addressing corruption within Ukraine's political elite.

Shokin adamantly insists, "They were being bribed. And the fact that Joe Biden gave away $1 billion in U.S. money in exchange for my dismissal, my firing — isn't that alone a case of corruption?" he asked.

The contrasting treatment of Biden and former President Donald Trump is noteworthy. 

Trump faced impeachment in December 2019, accused of threatening to withhold military aid in a phone call with Ukraine unless they investigated corruption within their government. The phone call used as evidence did not support for the charge, since Trump never threatened to withhold aid.

In stark contrast, Biden has openly acknowledged and bragged in public forums that he threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine if they did not fire the prosecutor. And he has claimed that he knows nothing about his son's business. Hunter reportedly raked in millions from Burisma, in an alleged international influence-peddling scheme.
