Biden’s Hidden Bank Records and Family Docs. May Soon be Revealed

Bank records, financial documents, and travel papers that may detail illicit deals between members of the Biden family and foreign figures may soon be made public, over the efforts of the Biden administration to hide them.

A non-profit law firm is now suing the National Archives under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for “Biden family records and communications regarding travel and finance transactions, as well as communications between the Bidens and several known business associates.”

“The Biden National Archives agency is stonewalling the release of thousands of records that could go to the heart of Biden family corruption allegations,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Investigators and observers believe those records may detail an influence-peddling operation run by members of the Biden family, who appear to have raked in millions of dollars from foreign interests as part of alleged business deals. However, none of the Biden family members appear to have any experience in the stated business, with access to U.S. policymakers appear to be the product sold.

The lawsuit was filed by Judicial Watch after the National Archives failed to produce any records in response to a February 2023 FOIA request.

According to Judicial Watch, that request asked for:

“Judicial Watch explained to the court that in a March letter the National Archives acknowledged receiving the FOIA request, assigned it a case number, and claimed it had identified ‘approximately 1,567 emails, 2,501 electronic files, and 445 pages of potentially responsive records that must be processed in order to respond to your request,’” the group reports.
