The Records Management Agency has recently notified Chairman James Comer of the House Oversight Committee that it is in the process of granting complete access to 1,799 emails from Joe Biden’s tenure as Vice President under President Obama. This substantial compilation, encompassing 62,610 pages, has been a point of focus in the ongoing House Republican probe into Biden’s involvement in his son Hunter’s overseas business activities.
This development follows Comer’s formal requests on August 30 and September 6. The Daily Caller and the Washington Examiner obtained the Agency’s correspondence to Comer, which responds to these inquiries.
Included in the email collection are communications where Joe Biden is referenced by various pseudonyms. The investigation has brought to light Biden’s use of aliases such as Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware. These were purportedly used in discussions regarding his son Hunter’s association with Burisma, a Ukrainian energy conglomerate.
The emails also feature interactions with Eric Schwerin and Devon Archer, who were previously associated with Hunter Biden in business ventures. Documents released by the House Ways and Means Committee reveal that Biden corresponded with Schwerin under the “Robin Ware” pseudonym. This included around 50 emails linked to Biden’s visit to Ukraine in June 2014.
The timing of this release is pivotal, aligning with the week a House vote is scheduled to officially commence an impeachment inquiry initiated on September 27.
Chairman Comer has accused the White House of feigning cooperation, following revelations from IRS whistleblowers about Biden’s use of a pseudonym for direct communication with Hunter Biden’s business partner. Comer has emphasized the necessity for the White House to fully comply with all document requests pertaining to Biden’s vice-presidential tenure and related to the impeachment investigation.
The Republicans’ scrutiny centers on allegations of President Biden’s direct involvement in his son’s business dealings, including claims of accepting a bribe from Burisma through Hunter to influence the dismissal of Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General investigating Burisma at the time.
House representatives have also suggested that Joe Biden’s position as vice president was leveraged for financial gain by himself, Hunter, and other Biden family members.
Biden has consistently denied any misconduct. Meanwhile, Democrats have criticized these investigations as politically motivated attempts by Republicans to tarnish the President’s reputation and undermine his potential 2024 re-election campaign.
