Former television host and political commentator Lou Dobbs said Thursday that an investigation into former President Barack Obama's legacy is "justified"

"I think that certainly an investigation is, to me, justified and important for the country," Dobbs said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show.

The National Archives and Records Administration earlier this week acknowledged possessing potentially up to 5,400 emails connected to then-Vice President Joe Biden's pseudonym accounts that he used to forward government information and discuss business with his son, Hunter Biden and others.

Many have pointed out that Obama was president during this time and have questioned whether or not he knew whether or not these communications were going on.

"The reality is that Barack Obama was president of the United States," Dobbs said. "These are people working for him who were this corrupt–whether it is Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State or whether it is Joe Biden as his vice president. Do we really think the corruption ended there with the Obama presidency?"

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast that Republicans in the House should expand their Biden investigation to look into other Democrat politicians.

"I think any investigation has to go way beyond Hunter Biden, who by the standards of corruption is a small fish ... while Obama was president, none of this could have happened without his active knowledge. It's just not possible," Gingrich said.
