Rep. Byron Donalds told Newsmax former President Barack Obama should open up a trove of emails from his administration that contain aliases then-Vice President Joe Biden used.
Joining "Rob Schmitt Tonight" on Tuesday, the Florida Republican urged Obama to cooperate with the National Archives and Records Administration for the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability's investigation.
"We don't have access yet, but we're trying to get this access," said Donalds, a member of the Oversight Committee. "One of the roadblocks is that President Obama actually has to agree to allow access to these emails because he was the president of the United States at the time. Biden, he explained, was "not actually being vice president of the United States." Instead, he was forwarding an influence peddling scheme with his family members that resulted in money and favors being tossed around.
The National Archives only disclosed the tens of thousands of emails on Monday as part of a legal battle in federal district court with the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a Georgia-based conservative group.
