National Archives Won’t Give Up 5,400 Emails Allegedly Sent by Biden Under Pseudonym

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has allegedly admitted to possessing potentially thousands of emails reportedly sent by President Joe Biden under pseudonym email accounts while he was vice president, according to a conservative nonprofit legal group. In an Aug. 23 press release, the Southeastern Legal Foundation said it had filed a lawsuit compelling the agency to hand over the roughly 5,400 emails potentially linked to the fake email accounts. The lawsuit (pdf) seeks all of the emails allegedly sent by then Vice President Biden under three personal pseudonym email accounts: Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware. According to the conservative nonprofit, the pseudonym email accounts were used by President Biden before he took office in the White House to "forward government information and discuss government business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others." The lawsuit cites multiple reports, including a letter from Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and another letter from Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, identifying the three pseudonym email accounts as having allegedly been used by President Biden in some communications when he was vice president. Earlier in August, Mr. Comer also called on NARA to grant him unrestricted access to the unredacted email communications between President Biden—during his time as vice president—and his son and business partners.
