House GOP receives more Biden emails from National Archives for probe: report
Comer indicated in an interview with Newsmax this week that while he "would vote to impeach Joe Biden right now" ... "the best path to accountability is criminal referrals."
The House Oversight Committee received about 6,000 pages of emails from the National Archives likely to be used for the House's impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
In a pair of letters obtained by Axios and addressed to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) dated March 26, the National Archives' general counsel said the agency turned over 211 emails to the committee totaling 5,860 pages. The letters are a response to a request for “certain Presidential and Vice Presidential records from [the] Obama Administration.”
Comer had requested information from the National Archives regarding communications between first son Hunter Biden and Joe Biden when he was vice president.
House Republicans are leading an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden over allegations of influence peddling within his family.
The documents Comer requested are about Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine.
“Please note that some of these records contain personally identifiable information (PII), including personal addresses, phone numbers, and other nonpublic information,” the letter said, according to The Hill. “Accordingly, we ask that the Committee protect such information from public disclosure.”
Comer indicated in an interview with Newsmax this week that while he "would vote to impeach Joe Biden right now," he doesn't believe there is enough support in the Republican conference, so "the best path to accountability is criminal referrals."
