National Archives officials have admitted that they have in their possession over 5,000 emails that show President Biden used a number of email pseudonyms while he was vice president.
The emails, files, and documents were purportedly used to share government information with Hunter Biden and others, according to the Daily Mail.
The archives revealed the emails after the submission of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was made by the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF), which specializes in constitutional law. It was submitted in June 2022 and contends that the aliases Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware were being used by Biden when he was vice president.
The existence of the correspondence was discovered via emails found on Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell.” The emails, files, and documents are dated between 2009 and 2017 while former President Obama and Biden were in office. They allegedly covered both official government business and family matters.

The Southeastern Legal Foundation sued the National Archives on Monday to obtain the records, according to the Daily Mail. The foundation is alleging that the emails, files, and documents could provide evidence that Biden forwarded government information and discussed government matters with Hunter Biden, along with other individuals.
“All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit. When they do, many seek to hide it. The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for NARA to release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails to SLF and thus the public. The American public deserves to know what is in them,” Kimberly Hermann, who is SLF’s general counsel, charged in a statement.
The archives are also being accused of stalling the release of the emails, files, and documents since the FOIA request was filed over 14 months ago. Although the National Archives has admitted the emails exist, they have not turned any of them over to date.
“We have performed a search of our collection for Vice Presidential records related to your [June 9, 2022] request and have identified approximately 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files, and 200 pages of potentially responsive records that must be processed in order to respond to your request,’ Stephannie Oriabure, director of NARA’s archival operations division, wrote to the Southeastern Legal Foundation in June 2022, the lawsuit revealed.
So the National Archives could find President Trump’s material quickly but somehow missed 5400 emails from Vice President Biden’s archives. Oh and those only happen to be the 5400 emails that involve business, corruption and Hunter Biden. Fire the archivist now

Republican James Comer (R-Ky.), who is the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, demanded unredacted records earlier in August from the National Archives that reportedly show Biden’s use of a pseudonym during his vice presidency.
“Evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling,” Comer declared in a statement released last week.
“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,” Comer asserted.
“The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family’s corruption,” he argued.

Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Minn.) have both been demanding unredacted records from the National Archives regarding Biden’s alias emails as well.
They have cited in letters to the National Archives the Presidential Records Act which requires POTUS to provide copies of all communications involving government business, whether on personal email addresses or not.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken is also involved in utilizing Biden’s aliases according to the Daily Mail. Emails show that he wrote Biden using one of them while acting as National Security Advisor to then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Blinken forwarded a March 26 2012 email from Ukraine ambassador John Tefft to Biden’s “Robin Ware” alias. It detailed a speech given by Beau Biden to Ukrainian members of parliament in Kyiv and was ironically on the subject of corruption.
