US National Archives Has 5,400 of Biden's Emails to Hunter, Signed With Fake Name

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The US National Archives has approximately 5,400 emails and records linked to a pseudonym allegedly used by US President Joe Biden to discuss foreign business with his son Hunter Biden, US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said on Tuesday.

“The National Archives has ADMITTED to possessing 5,400 emails and records connected to then-VP Biden’s ‘Robert L. Peters’ email account,” Comer wrote on social media.

Earlier this month, the US House Oversight Committee requested information from the National Archives on the Robert Peters email address, which Biden allegedly used as a pseudonymous means of communication.

The panel has requested unredacted documents from the National Archives due to a belief that redactions could cover up the names of people copied on emails sent by the account, particularly on those pertaining to Ukrainian policy, the official noted on Monday in an interview with an American news agency.

The House lawmakers are investigating alleged criminal activity by the Biden family, including foreign bribery and influence peddling involving Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

The probe could be impacted by a US government shutdown, which would occur if Congress fails to fund the government beyond the end of next month, Comer said. However, the chairman added that he is optimistic that the government will avoid a shutdown.
