On Thursday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sent a letter to the National Archives demanding unredacted access to the Biden Vice Presidential Records Collection to further the committee’s investigation into th Biden family’s business dealings.
Comer said the committee is seeking unrestricted access to a National Archives and Records Administration case record titled "Email Messages To and/or From Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden related to Burisma and Ukraine."
The record was made public in June and had included four emails, but two were withheld in full and the remainder had redactions.
The two emails withheld were from then-Biden aide Fran Person in 2009 and a "Robin Ware," a pseudonym used by Biden, in 2012.
One email that was made available on the NARA website was one bearing the subject "Friday Schedule Card," which stated that at 9 am on May 27, 2016, Vice President Biden took a call with the then-president of Ukraine, with Comer noting, "It is concerning to the Committee, however, that this document was sent to “Robert L. Peters”—a pseudonym the Committee has identified as then Vice-President Biden."
"Additionally, the Committee questions why the then-Vice President’s son, Hunter Biden—and only Hunter Biden—was copied on this email to then-Vice President Biden."
To further the investigation, Comer demanded that the committee have access to these documents in their original format by no later than August 31, 2023 as well as " 2. Any document or communication in which a pseudonym for Vice President Joe Biden was included either as a sender, recipient, copied or was included in the contents of the document or communication, including but not limited to Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware."
