NextImg:Biden impeachment inquiry: National Archives to provide 1,799 emails to Comer

EXCLUSIVE — The National Archives and Records Administration said Monday it would make more than 62,000 pages of records available for the House GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.

In August, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) asked for unrestricted special access to unredacted emails and documents from Biden’s time as vice president regarding Hunter Biden and Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company for which Hunter Biden was a board member. While the emails were released, they were heavily redacted and provided little context of the substance of the email.

CENSURE CRAZE: HOUSE HITS REPRIMAND MILESTONE NOT SEEN SINCE 1870

Specifically, Comer requested the unredacted version of all emails released by the National Archives under “Case Number 2023-0022-F,” which is titled on NARA’s website as “Email Messages To and/or From Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden related to Burisma and Ukraine.”

After a review of the documents, NARA said it agreed to turn over 1,799 emails and attachments requested by Comer, which totals 62,210 pages, the agency said in a Dec. 11 letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.

One of House Republicans’ main reasons for going forward with a vote on the impeachment inquiry has been that the administration and NARA were “stonewalling” their request for documents and information.

Now, NARA has agreed to turn over an extensive trove of documents but asked that Comer “protect such information from public disclosure,” as they include personal information.

There are two other requests Comer made that he claims the agency has not complied with, including one on Aug. 30 and another on Sept. 6.

“The White House is trying to make an appearance of cooperation after two brave IRS whistleblowers provided information revealing Joe Biden used an alias as Vice President to email directly with Hunter Biden’s business associate,” Comer said in a statement on Monday. “Just last week, President Biden lied again when confronted with information that he interacted with his family’s business associates. The White House must comply with all of our requests for records from Joe Biden’s time as Vice President and all other Committee requests related to the impeachment inquiry. Anything less is obstruction.”

The impeachment inquiry is looking into whether Joe Biden improperly used his position of power to enrich himself and his family, whether he used his influence to pressure the Department of Justice to help Hunter Biden, and how involved he was in his family’s foreign business dealings.

It also focuses on an allegation raised in an FBI tip sheet that says Joe Biden, along with Hunter Biden, took bribes from Burisma to pressure the Ukrainian government to fire a prosecutor.

The House is expected to vote to authorize the inquiry this week.
