House Inquiry Targets Hunter Biden’s Alleged Use of Fake Names and its Connection to Ukrainian Affairs.
Demand for Documentation Under Then-V.P. Joe Biden’s Fake Names
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has explicitly demanded the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) furnish all documents and communications where then-Vice President Joe Biden utilized pseudonyms, including “Robert Peters,” “Robin Ware,” and “JRB Ware.”
Comer’s request targets communications about Biden’s official duties that might coincide with his son’s Ukrainian dealings. A key email mentioning a conversation with the then-Ukrainian President, addressed to “Robert L. Peters” and cc’ed to Hunter Biden, has been specifically cited.
Joe Biden’s Ukrainian Policy and Burisma Connection
During the Obama administration, Joe Biden played a central role in foreign policy towards Ukraine. The House Oversight Committee alleges that he threatened to withhold U.S. aid until the Ukrainian president dismissed a prosecutor overseeing an investigation into Burisma Holdings, a company that paid Hunter Biden $83,000 monthly for a board position. Joe Biden later publicly recounted his push for the prosecutor’s dismissal during an official visit to Ukraine in 2015.
Investigation into Family Influence and Corruption Allegations
Representative Comer highlights that the evidence appears to contradict Joe Biden’s assertions of a clear boundary between his vice-presidential duties and his family’s foreign business ventures. Comer insists that NARA must provide unredacted records to deepen their investigation into alleged corruption within the Biden family.
Emphasizing a link between then-Vice President Biden and his son’s international business contacts, Comer set a deadline of August 31, 2023, for NARA to respond with the requested materials.
