The content of emails sent by President Biden using pseudonymous accounts is the main element that House Oversight Committee James Comer (R-Ky.) says investigators handling the impeachment inquiry against the president must obtain.
Biden, 81, used several email aliases, including “robinware456,” “JRBware” and “RobertLPeters,” between 2010 and 2019 to communicate with his son Hunter Biden and Eric Schwerin, the first son’s former business partner, according to House Ways and Media Committee.
However, the White House has only released 14 of the roughly 82,000 pages of secret emails from Biden’s vice president, according to the Kentucky Republican, who said knowing what’s in the rest is his top priority when Congress returns from recess in the new Year. .
“I think one of the most important amounts of documentation we need is those pseudonymous emails,” Comer said during an appearance on Fox News. “Remember, no one knew about pseudonymous emails until a few months ago when we discovered that Joe Biden was using at least three fake names in government emails.”

Comer, who heads one of three House panels tasked with handling the impeachment inquiry into the president, first asked the National Archives in August to turn over its unredacted records in which Biden used a pseudonym during his vice presidency. .
He has since accused the White House of “obstructing” lawmakers’ attempts to access records related to Biden, which are critical to the impeachment inquiry.
Comer said the emails his committee obtained don’t “even represent half of 1%” of what investigators are looking for.

“These are junk emails,” he said of what the White House has allowed the National Archives to release.
“But what we learned from the accusation [against Hunter Biden] in California, [is] several of those emails where Joe Biden used a pseudonym were used as evidence against Hunter Biden for his non-payment of taxes… that’s important evidence there,” Comer said.
Earlier this month, the House Ways and Means Committee revealed that Joe Biden sent, or was aware of, at least 327 emails with Schwerin, founding partner and managing director of Hunter’s defunct Rosemont Seneca Partners firm. .
One of the emails from Eric Schwerin, Hunter Biden’s business partner, is from 2014.
Of those emails, 54 were exclusively between Joe Biden and Schwerin, whom the committee accuses of being the architect of the Biden family’s “several money-laundering shell companies around the world.”
Comer also noted that statements will be sought from Hunter Biden and “all of his business partners” once Congress reconvenes, as well as information related to the Joe Biden classified documents scandal.
“We also have questions for the National Archives: which countries were involved in the documents that Joe Biden mishandled? That’s something that I think is very important to our investigation because we have identified a couple of emails that Hunter sent to people in Ukraine, for example, that we believe may have been classified documents that Joe Biden mishandled and that were possibly in the garage of Joe Biden’s house where his son lived,” Comer said.

Hunter Biden defied a congressional subpoena requiring him to appear for a transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee earlier this month, opting instead to hold a press conference outside the Capitol and demand a public hearing.
Comer said he hopes Congress will hold the first son in contempt for the stunt “as soon as we get back.”
