Former Hunter Biden business partner Devon Archer dropped some bombshells about the first family in a highly revealing and at times light-hearted interview with former Fox News star Tucker Carlson that was posted on Wednesday.

“What Hunter ran into was almost like an Icarus issue,” Archer told “Tucker on Twitter,” two days after his D.C.-shaking closed-door testimony before congressional investigators.

“He got a little — it was too close to the sun. It was too good to be true. And the connections were too close and the scrutiny too much. It left a wake of destruction of a lot of businesses over a number of years,” Archer said.

During closed-door testimony, Archer disclosed that he had personally witnessed approximately 20 instances where Joe Biden engaged in business-meeting or dinner calls with Hunter Biden. According to Archer, the allure of these calls was the opportunity to seal deals with the added “prize” of hearing the then-vice president’s voice over the phone, occasionally even on speaker, Newsmax reported.

“I can definitively say, at particular dinners or meetings, he knew they were business associates,” Archer told Carlson. “If I were there, I was a business associate, too.

“To be completely clear on the calls: I don’t know if it was an orchestrated call-in or not. It certainly was powerful, though, because if you’re sitting with a foreign business person, and you hear the vice president’s voice, that’s prize enough. That’s pretty impactful stuff for anyone in the world,” he said.

He went on to tell Carlson that he believed he “hit the jackpot” in terms of business connections when he teamed with Hunter as his dad was becoming vice president.

Hunter Biden “brought the Biden brand,” Archer told Carlson.

“Obviously, the brand of Biden adds a lot of power when your dad is vice president,” Archer added, noting his alleged efforts peddling influence increased as Barack Obama was coming into power.

“At the time I think I hit the jackpot in finding the regulatory environment or a company that could navigate right to the top, but, obviously, as time has told, being a little too close to the sun ends up burning you,” Archer said, a reference to Hunter Biden resembling Icarus, the Greek mythological figure who perished after flying too close to the sun with his wax wings.

“The initial idea around the business was they’re going to provide government insight and additional network to raise capital and then to deal with regulatory issues that you might have at the corporate level,” Archer began, sharing a laugh and a knowing smile with Carlson which appeared to indicate there were conflicts of interest involved with Joe Biden.

“You have to be an expert in knowing the guy, and he was the expert in knowing the guy,” Archer said earlier in the interview.

Who is “the guy?” Carlson asked, smiling.

“His brother, his father, some of his father’s siblings,” Archer said.

“Does he have a sophisticated level of regulatory insight?” Carlson joked.

“I think he led a team that had sophisticated …” Archer said as the two of them laughed.

“Understanding a regulatory environment is selling access at the end of the day,” Archer said.
