Comer Demands NARA Hand Over Records Of Biden Using Pseudonym
It has been confirmed by the House Oversight Committee that President Joe Biden used a fake name to mask his identity while serving as vice president — and now the committee is demanding that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) hand over all documents pertaining to the use of that pseudonym.
As House Republicans investigate Biden’s use of a fake name during his time in the Obama administration, Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has sent a letter to NARA requesting all unredacted records and communications related to Biden’s official duties as vice president that overlapped with his son Hunter Biden’s activities in Ukraine.
The letter, which was sent on Thursday, particularly seeks documents in which Joe Biden used a pseudonym — along with documents where Hunter Biden or his business partners Eric Schwerin or Devon Archer are copied; and all drafts of the then-vice president’s speech delivered to Ukraine’s parliament in December 2015.
According to Comer, the Oversight Committee is also demanding unrestricted special access under the Presidential Records Act (PRA) to Case Number 2023-0022-F — titled “Email Messages To and/or From Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden related to Burisma and Ukraine,” referring to Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings.
“These records have been redacted for public release pursuant to the PRA and FOIA [the Freedom of Information Act],” Comer wrote.
“Attached to this email, and made available on the NARA website, is a document that indicates at 9:00 a.m. on May 27, 2016, Vice President Biden took a call with the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko,” Comer’s letter continued. “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.”
The Oversight Committee chairman went on to provide NARA with an August 31 deadline to hand over the documents, noting that they are necessary for Congress to work on “legislative solutions” for ethics laws and disclosure rules.
“The Committee is concerned that foreign nationals have sought access and influence by engaging in lucrative business relationships with high-profile political figures’ immediate family members, including members of the Biden family,” Comer wrote.
In a statement to The Daily Wire, a NARA spokesperson confirmed that the agency had received the request and would respond in accordance with the requirements of the PRA.
