Quick Glance: Hunter Biden's associate reveals son's sale of 'illusion of access'
  • Devon Archer, former business partner of Hunter Biden, departs after testifying before the House Oversight Committee.

  • A former associate of Hunter Biden informs Congress that Hunter sold the 'illusion of access' by involving his father in phone conversations with business partners, but then-Vice President Biden never discussed business, according to Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) and a source familiar with the testimony.

  • Santos defiantly tweeted that he would not resign.

  • Certainly, we're likely to learn more about how Santos has misled or misrepresented himself in the future.

  • The most likely tipping point, though, would be if Santos's transgressions crossed the line into proved criminality.

  • And Santos has a number of issues on this front.
