This Thursday morning House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) requested that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) release in unredacted form all relevant documentation concerning communications that they have where then Vice President Joe Biden used a pseudonym, that has Hunter Biden, Eric Schwerin, or Devon Archer copied in it, and all the drafts composed for the then-vice president for his address before the Ukrainian parliament in December 2015. The Oversight Committee observed that evidence of a call between then Vice President Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was sent to a Robert L. Peters. Mr. ‘Peters’ has been identified as a pseudonym for Joe Biden by the committee.
Kilmeny Duchardt, Newsmax‘s Congressional Correspondent, commented about this development, saying, “We have talked about the bank records, the payments that Hunter Biden received from foreign nationals, we have talked about the…testimony that the committee obtained revealing that then Vice President Joe Biden met with individuals that his son did business with. This is the committee’s latest efforts to fill in the blanks here on if there was any policy or influence exchanged or promised as part of these deals.”
Newsmax further reported that the House Oversight Committee “specifically, [were] requesting special access to emails related to Hunter Biden, Burisma and Ukraine.”

Chairman Comer wrote in a statement:
“Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business schemes and his duties as vice president, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling…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.”
Miranda Devine, a writer for the New York Post, complemented Representative Comer by writing “James Comer is relentless.” She also revealed that “Comer was about to go to court to get all Joe and Hunter’s personal bank records when AG Garland pulled the Special Counsel trick. He’s still going.”
