National Archives Confirms Existence of 5,400 Emails, Records Containing Alleged VP Biden Pseudonyms

The National Archives and Records Administration has confirmed that it is in possession of nearly 5,400 emails, electronic records, and documents containing pseudonyms President Biden used as vice president.

Legal non-profit Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a Freedom of Information Act request in June 2022 for the records. Those included emails containing the names Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters and JRB Ware, pseudonyms Biden used while serving in the Obama administration, according to House Republicans investigating Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings.

On Monday, the legal organization sued NARA to obtain the records, which it alleges could reveal that Biden shared confidential government knowledge with his son.

NARA confirmed the existence of thousands of records that include the pseudonyms in a June 24, 2022 email revealed as part of the lawsuit.

“We have performed a search of our collection for Vice Presidential records related to your [June 9, 2022] request and have identified approximately 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files and 200 pages of potentially responsive records that must be processed in order to respond to your request,” Stephannie Oriabure, the director of NARA’s archival operations division, wrote to the group.

In early August, House Oversight committee chairman James Comer asked NARA to submit unredacted copies of any records in which Biden used a fake name during his vice presidency as part of his investigation into the Biden family’s alleged corruption and influence-peddling business.

Biden at times used the email address “Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov” while serving as vice president. His vice presidential staff also informed Hunter Biden of his schedule on multiple emails between May 18 and June 15, 2016, around which time Biden was involved in sensitive diplomatic matters in Ukraine, according to emails uncovered from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.

In July, Hunter Biden’s longtime business associate Devon Archer testified to the House Oversight Committee that Biden joined Hunter Biden’s business meetings via phone or in person at least 20 times and was sold by his son as “the brand” in overseas business dealings.

Chairman James Comer said that Archer’s statement “confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved.” Archer worked with Hunter Biden on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings beginning in 2014. The pair went on to found the investment firm Rosemont Seneca, where Archer served as managing director. Some of Biden’s work in Ukraine as vice president contributed to the firing Ukrainian prosecutor Victor Shokin who was then investigating the founder of Burisma.

“Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ that his son sold around the world to enrich the Biden family,” Comer sad in a statement. “When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times. When Burisma’s owner faced pressure from the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company for corruption, Archer testified that Burisma executives asked Hunter to ‘call D.C.’ after a Burisma board meeting in Dubai.”
