Tucker Carlson reported in an interview posted on Twitter this week that Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time, sent a heartfelt thank-you note to Hunter Biden’s best business mate, Devon Archer, in 2011.
Carlson stated the letter as being from January 20th, 2011, which, I believe, places you in your late thirties. “This letter is from Joe Biden, the vice president of the United States, sent to you, personally.”
At the bottom of the letter, which Carlson had held up during the interview, was a unique handwritten note by Joe Biden.
Carlson presented the letter Joe Biden wrote to Archer thanking him for coming to lunch:
“I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to speak with you during the luncheon yesterday. I was having a hard time escaping from entertaining President Hu (Jintao, who was in charge of China at the time). I’m hoping I’ll soon get the chance to visit you again with Hunter. I hope your lunch went well. Thanks for being here. Sincerely, John Robert Biden Jr. (Handwritten) P.S. I’m glad you two are together.”
“What did he thank you for?” Carlson enquired.
“It’s a beautiful letter, first of all,” Archer said.
“It’s quite fervent, but it’s also a little strange, right?” Carlson inquired.
“Well, it was,” he acknowledged. “Listen, it was sort of the start of our collaboration.”
“And at the end of the day, he was praising both Hunter and me, I believe, for introducing the concept of this government regulatory strategic advising firm into the realm of private equity,” according to Archer. “And I believe he was enthusiastic about Hunter’s chances. And this guy was just thanking me, you know. I thought that was a thoughtful gesture.”
Carlson questioned Archer about Hunter Biden’s area of expertise in business throughout the conversation. Hunter Biden, according to Archer, specialized in lowering regulatory exposure for companies, particularly for Burisma Holdings.
Tucker said, “So ultimately, the business of Washington involves selling access.”
“The Understanding of a regulatory environment implies selling access,” Archer said.
“He Hunter Biden was well-connected. However, there were undoubtedly some family members,” Archer said. “And obviously, I understand that you’re emphasizing the father as a vital relationship.”

“It’s an abuse of soft power,” said Archer. “Obviously, having your father as vice president gives you a lot of influence.”
