Judicial Watch: Federal Court Hearing Set in Lawsuit for Joe Biden’s Family Business Records
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that a hearing was set by U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan for July 8 at 10 a.m. ET in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) for Biden family records and communications regarding travel and finance transactions, as well as communications between the Bidens and several known business associates.
Judicial Watch filed the May 2023 lawsuit after the National Archives failed to respond to a February 2023 FOIA request (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. National Archives (No. 1:23-cv-01432)).
This lawsuit forced the release of records revealing emails sent by Joe Biden using alias accounts during his vice presidency, in which he communicated with family members, including his son Hunter and brother James. The records also showed that in August 2016, Biden approved ending Secret Service protection for both Hunter Biden and Beau Biden’s daughter, Natalie, during a trip to Kosovo.
The emails included messages to Jim and Hunter Biden regarding the then-vice president’s schedule and meetings. Some emails showed Joe Biden using the alias: robinware456@gmail.com.
The emails also showed that Hunter and Jim Biden accompanied Joe Biden on taxpayer-funded trips; and then-Vice President Biden in December 2009 emailing an aide after he forgot the password to his West Wing computer.
