National Archives officials have sent some of the records sought by the House Oversight Committee to aides for former President Barack Obama and President Joe Biden to approve for release.
The move means the National Archives is unlikely to meet the Aug. 31st deadline Oversight Chair James Comer set for the agency to hand over the records, a congressional aide told the Washington Examiner.Comer is seeking any email that includes one of the pseudonyms Joe Biden used as vice president, any email that included Hunter Biden or one of his closest two business partners, and all draft versions of a speech Joe Biden delivered in Dec. 2015 to Ukrainian legislators.
That could prevent congressional investigators from understanding the extent of coordination between Hunter Biden’s businesses and then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office. That privilege allows the government to withhold “confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors,” according to the Presidential Records Act.
The discovery of Joe Biden’s pseudonyms – he used at least three as vice president to send and receive emails — shed more light last month on the extent of Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business dealings.
