The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Devon Archer, an associate of Hunter Biden, who was convicted of defrauding a Native American tribe.

Despite arguments from Archer’s lawyers about legal questions and sentencing guidelines, the court’s decision means he will likely have to serve his one-year prison sentence and pay substantial restitution.

Archer’s lawyers argued that the Supreme Court must first decide if “district courts [have] discretion to reweigh the evidence when evaluating a new trial motion, as eleven other federal courts of appeals have held to varying degrees, or whether the rule requires a district court to defer to the verdict unless there is some concern beyond the weight of the evidence, as the Second Circuit held in this case,” before they proceed.

This case is separate from Hunter Biden’s activities, although Archer previously testified about interactions between President Joe Biden and his son’s business partners.
