Comer is also asking for documents and communications in which Biden used a “pseudonym”; that included Hunter Biden or his business partners Eric Schwerin and Devon Archer; and all drafts of the speech that Biden delivered to the Ukrainian legislature in December 2015.
“We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son’s foreign business associates. We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of then-Vice President Biden’s official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family’s corruption,” the statement said.
The White House has previously said that the president was never in business with his son. Archer, who sat on the board of Burisma with Hunter Biden, testified to the Oversight Committee earlier this month that the president was never involved in their business decisions, and that he had no evidence or knowledge that the U.S. took any action to benefit Burisma or Hunter Biden.
In the letter to the National Archives, Comer specifically points to a redacted email from May 27, 2016, with Biden’s daily schedule sent to robert.l.peters@pci.gov and Hunter Biden — saying that the committee has identified “Robert L. Peters” as a pseudonym for the then-vice president. The schedule for that day includes a call with the then-president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, Comer notes.
Comer also requests emails that were sent or received from “Robin Ware” and “JRB Ware,” two other pseudonyms that the New York Post previously reported President Biden used, one of which is a Google email address. Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) have previously sent the National Archives requests for information about those pseudonyms.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Comer and the committee have over the past few weeks released a series of transcripts and memos seeking to link Hunter Biden’s activities back to his father.
“We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son’s foreign business associates.
Archer said that Hunter Biden portrayed the “illusion” of access to his father when he was vice president but did not have real influence.
An unredacted version is available on archives of emails found from a hard drive that purportedly belonged to Hunter Biden.
Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) have previously sent the National Archives requests for information about those pseudonyms.
In Biden’s 2015 speech to the Ukrainian Rada, the parliament of Ukraine, the then-vice president advocated for democracy and warned about corruption in the country, adding that the U.S. would not recognize Russia’s attempt to annex Crimea.
