In response to Saturday’s request by the US Attorney’s office for Devon Archer to report to prison, Rep. Matt Gaetz is asking lawmakers to return to Washington, DC. He calls for immediate emergency hearings on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) alleged interference with Congressional Oversight.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York had asked Judge Ronnie Abrams to schedule a date for Devon Archer’s report, following a decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold his sentence of one year.
Archer was found guilty of two felony counts in his involvement in a scheme to defraud the Lake Wakpamni Community Corporation of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Negar Tekeei revealed in a one-page letter that prosecutors had previously asked Matthew Schwartz, Archer’s attorney, to suggest a date for the report. However, Schwartz felt this was “premature”, citing Archer’s contemplation of additional appeals and concerns about a “mistake” in the sentencing process.
