March 27, 2025
Former President Donald Trump has pardoned Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden, who was convicted in a $60 million bond fraud scheme involving the Oglala Sioux Tribe. Archer was sentenced in 2020 for his role in misappropriating funds meant for tribal development. Trump said Archer was "treated very unfairly." The Oglala Sioux Tribe has not yet responded to the decision.
