One of Hunter Bidens former Business Partners is adding fuel to the republican investigate of the president s son. Sources tell cnn that devin archer testified to a House Committee that hunter biden sold the, quote, Illusion Of Access to his father. But, offered no evidence actually connecting the president to any of hunters Business Dealings. Cnn Melanie Zanona has more from capitol hill. Reporter House Republicans are turning up the heat on hunter biden. The House Oversight committee on monday held a deposition with devin archer, he is a former Business Associate of hunter biden. He served on a board of Ukrainian Energy Company Along with hunter biden. And republicans wanted to bring himt in because they thought he could reveal Key Information about President Joe Biden. And whether he was involved in any of his sons foreign Business Deals. That is a link that the white house has furiously denied and a link that republicans have yet to establish. But one of the things that republicans were particularly interested in was whether President Joe Biden ever spoke with any of hunters Business Partners. Democratic congressman dan goldman was print for that deposition and he confirmed that hunter biden did put joe biden, who was Vice President at the time, on speakerphone around 20 times in the presence of his Business Partners, but goldman was adamant that no business was discussed and those conversations were casual. There still is no connection of any of Hunter Bidens Business Dealings with president biden. Hunter may have put his father on the phone with any number of different people. And they never once spoke about any Business Dealings as he described it. It was all casual conversation. Reporter a source also told my colleague zach cohen that archer testified that hunter was selling the, quote, Illusion Of Access to his father but never provided any evidence linking joe biden to any of these Business Deals. The same source also said that archer testified he had no knowledge of allegations about a Bribery Scheme involving joe biden and a foreign national. Now, republicans say they feel vindicated after this testimony. And that these Speakerphone Calls along with a dinner where joe biden was present is proof that the president was more intimately involved in his sons Business Deals than was previously known. They say biden lied to the American People and they are vowing to continue to dig into the issue. In fact, a trio of chairman also launched a probe on the same day looking into the department of justice plea deal involving hunter biden. They want documents. They want a briefing. A clear sign that theyre not letting up on any of these probes any time soon. Melanie zanona, cnn, capitol hill. Russian officials are accusing ukraine of launching a new wave of Drone Strikes on moscow. A short time ago, moscows mayor says several were shot down this morning but one of them did crash into the same highrise tower that was hit in an attack on sunday. Cnns Clare Sebastian is following the news live from london. So you and i spoke yesterday, of course, about some of the videos we were seeing of previous Drone Strikes. Ukraine taking the war right to the heart of Vladimir Putins russia once again here. A bit of deja vu there, omar. Certainly these kinds of attacks are intensifying. This is no longer an isolated incident. Three Drone Attacks on moscow in the space of just over a week. So i think that is significant. There is no claim of responsibility from ukraine explicitly. Russia has explicitly blamed them. We do have this morning a tweet from a prominent ukrainian official, the adviser to the head of president zelenskyys office who says moscow i rapidly getting used to fullfledged war, which will soon final move to the tear otheof the authors of the war. He goes on to say that everything that will happen in russia, objective historical process, more unidentified drones, more collapse, more civil conflict, more war seems to suggest this may be a part of a process to destabilize russia. That may well be the point here literally and figuratively shattering the facade thats been created for the russian people that everything is going well, that this is a special Military Operation on the front lines miles away. Certainly from the russian capitol that ukraine is losing in its counteroffensive. This really does, as you say, bring it home. And we did, of course, hear from president Zelenskyy On Sunday saying the war is gradually returning to russian soil. It will involve symbolic centers, he says, and Military Bases. When you talk about moscow, thats certainly a symbolic center, but there were military targets allegedly in play as well. Overnight, russia claiming it thwarted a maritime drone attack on two Patrol Vessels of its black sea fleet. It says it destroyed those maritime drones. But certainly seems these attacks are intensifying. Russia in response promising to intensify attacks of its own which we have seen play out over the last 24 hours. We are in a period in this car of escalation on both sides. Omar . Clare sebastian, something to watch for. Thank you so much. An American Woman is under arrest in the bahamas charged with conspireing to kill her husband months after the couple filed for divorce. A source telling cnn, police foiled that plot when they stumbled on messages on a phone recovered in an unrelated investigation. Cnns Nick Valencia has the story. Reporter two local bohemian men were also taken into custody and according to prosecutors, the accused agreed to carry out a murder for hire plot on the husband of American Lindsey Shiver On July 16th in the bahamas. That plot was foiled. Its not entirely clear. Theres reporting that cnn has been unable to verify. We do know the three defendants were in a courtroom in the Bahamas On Friday and were not required to enter a plea. But they were told if they were seeking bail that they could appeal to the Supreme Court on the island. Social media that appeared to belong to lindsey shiver showed her husband and she attended Auburn University and appeared to show a happy church going.

We reached out to the attorneys in the divorce proceedings, but we have not yet heard back. Meanwhile the next court day for the bahamas for the three defendants is october 5th. Nick valencia, cnn, atlanta. U. S. Officials tell cnn the government is working to secure the release of the Kidnapped American nurse in haiti.

Were in regular contact with the haitian authorities and will continue to work with them and our u. S. Government. Haitian police and government authorities have not responded to cnn inquiries about the kidnappings. But on the same day the u. S. Ordered all nonemergency staff to leave haiti again warned that all americans should leave. Citing the increase in violence and the risk of kidnapping. But it was the dire need in haiti and the hope that Gang Recruitment could be stopped that she said so compelled her to live and work in haiti over the last several years. Lots of people who would just have turned to gangs or turned to the streets, theyre able to get vocational training. People are learning how to read. The community is being transformed where it was once ashes now beauty is coming up from it.

The newest codefendant in the Special Counsels classified documents case is out on bail. Maralago Property Manager Carlos De Oliveira appeared in a miami courtroom on monday. He didnt enter a formal plea to the four charges in the grand jury indictment including conspiracy to obstruct justice and lying to the fbi. To talk about it all, lets bring in robert sanders, professor at the university of new haven, former military lawyer. Robert, great to see you. I want to start here, de oliveira is accused of being part of an effort to try to delete Security Footage at trumps resort. Not being part of trumps inner circle, though. Could that make him more likely, you think, to make a deal . Well, where we are today is that the pawns in Donald Trumps orbit are now being forced to move by prosecutor smith. And each of those pawns is moving in a very predictable way. In chess, pawns get to make one step and one step only. In this case, the steps are finding a Donald Trumpappointed attorney from washington, d. C. To bring them closer into the orbit. Second, showing up on court on day one and saying they dont have a local Florida Attorney to represent them. So, that is a process by which donald trump is able to control these pawns so that the king or in this case, the kingpin is not toppled. And robert, to that point, you know, bringing the trump orbit i should say is paying for at least the legal fees now for de oliveira and walt ngata, as far as we know. You touched on it a little bit, is that sort of influence on these folks to try to bring them into that orbit . Is that a common practice . How do you interpret what were seeing there . Its not a common practice
