Oversight Committee Demands Unredacted File On Bidens’ ‘Foreign Business Dealings’ From NARABY: TRISTAN JUSTICE
SEPTEMBER 06, 2023
Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is probing an instance of apparent “collusion” between then-Vice President Joe Biden and Ukrainian energy firm Burisma, which employed Hunter Biden, to “spin media stories about Burisma’s corruption while Vice President Biden was publicly pushing an anti-corruption agenda in Ukraine.”
In a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on Wednesday, Comer demanded the agency disclose documents related to the family’s influence-peddling schemes to Congress. NARA has publicly released a file titled “Records on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Their Foreign Business Dealings,” but has redacted or “withheld” sections of the records, Comer noted. The Oversight Committee is seeking the complete, unredacted file, and Comer highlighted in his letter one of the specific portions that warrant further investigation.
“For example, on December 4, 2015, at 10:45 a.m. — in an email with the subject of ‘Quotes’ — Eric Schwerin (a longtime Biden family business associate) wrote to Kate Bedingfield in the Office of the Vice President providing quotes the White House should use in response to media outreach regarding Hunter Biden’s role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company,” Comer wrote. “Later that day — at 2:30 p.m. — Ms. Bedingfield responded to Mr. Schwerin saying ‘VP signed off on this[.]’ The timing of this email traffic is concerning to the Committee.”
During that time, Hunter Biden served on the board of Burisma raking in upwards of $83,000 a month despite having no prior experience in the industry. The payout was far beyond comparable board compensation.
Comer also cited former family business partner Devon Archer’s July testimony to the Oversight Committee suggesting President Biden himself was closely involved in Hunter Biden’s Burisma schemes.
