House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer is demanding unredacted emails involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son from the National Archives.

"Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business schemes and his duties as vice president, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling," Comer said in a statement. Biden traveled to Ukraine at the time to put pressure on the country’s leaders to fire then-prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma, where Hunter was serving as a board member.
Comer's letter said the committee needed the requested documents in order to draft potential legislation.
