National Archives hands House GOP more Biden emails

by | Apr 1, 2024

The National Archives announced this week that it has provided nearly 6,000 pages of emails to the House Oversight Committee. This release comes as part of the GOP-led panel's investigation into Joe Biden.

In two letters addressed to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) dated March 26, the National Archives' general counsel, Gary Stern, revealed that the agency had submitted 211 emails, amounting to a total of 5,860 pages.

The emails encompass various requests from the panel, including documents featuring a pseudonym for then-Vice President Biden, drafts of a speech delivered by Biden to the Ukrainian legislature in 2015, and any communications involving Hunter Biden or his business associates.

The National Archives have publicly released over 20,000 pages of emails related to Hunter Biden and the Biden family and turned over 75,000 more pages of records to the House GOP, a senior House Democratic aide told Axios.

Comer himself has indicated that the focus of the probe is no longer centered on impeaching Biden. Instead, it aims to draft criminal referrals that a future Justice Department led by Trump could potentially act upon.
