Former Burisma board member Devon Archer will appear before the House Oversight Committee tomorrow morning for a transcribed behind closed door interview.
Fox is told Archer is expected to appear this time – even though he has evaded commission three times before and is subpoenaed.
In addition, a senior Republican close to the investigation believes the DOJ tried “an intimidation tactic” on Saturday by asking a judge to set a date for Archer to report to serve jail time.
Archer was found guilty in 2022 of defrauding Native American tribes.

There are also questions about whether the Bidens’ legal counsel has contacted Archer.
