Fox News host Tucker Carlson featured a photo Tuesday night showing former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, posing with a "Ukraine gas company exec" in the Hamptons back in 2014, and on Wednesday, President Trump tweeted a video featuring that same photo superimposed onto a Nickelback video. Over the video, he urged people to "look at this photograph!"

The "Ukraine gas company exec" in the photo is Devon Archer, a longtime American business associate of Hunter Biden's. They were partners in an investment firm with Chris Heinz, former Secretary of State John Kerry's stepson, for five years before they joined the gas company, Burisma, at about the same time. (Heinz did not join the Burisma board.)
