The legal organization filed a FOIA request with the National Archives and Records Administration in order to obtain emails from Biden's VP office which led to the discovery of 19,335 emails with Hunter's firm Rosemont Seneca, 4,243 emails with Hunter himself, 1,751 emails with Joe Biden's brother Jim, and 3,738 emails with Jim Biden's Lion Hall Group.
"Presidential Candidate Joe Biden promised there would be an 'absolute wall' between his work as an elected official and his family’s 'business,'" the House Oversight Committee wrote about the discovery. "That doesn’t match his track record. New info from the National Archives shows that Biden’s VP Office emailed with his son Hunter, his brother Jim, and both of their “businesses” OVER 29,000 TIMES."
"[President Biden] lied by telling the American people that there was an “absolute wall” between his official government duties and his personal life," Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) wrote.
Then-Vice President Biden's close association with his son and his family's business interests has been the highlight of the impeachment inquiry launched by former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) last month.
As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, Hunter Biden was used throughout Biden's tenure as vice president via his firm Rosemont Seneca Partners to travel the world and create lucrative relationships with foreign businessmen in exchange for access to 'the brand' which has been described as access to then-Vice President Joe Biden.
The Biden family allegedly gathered tens of millions of dollars from countries across the globe including Ukraine, Russia, China, Romania, and Kazakstan.
"House Republicans have uncovered serious and credible allegations into President Biden's conduct," McCarthy said when announcing the impeachment inquiry into Biden. "Taken together, these allegations paint a picture of a culture of corruption."
"Now here's what we know so far. Through our investigations we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family's foreign business dealings," the speaker said. "Eyewitnesses have testified that the president joined on multiple phone calls and had multiple interactions, dinners that resulted in cars and millions of dollars into his son and his son's business partners."
"We know that bank records show that nearly $20 million in payments were directed to the Biden family members and associates through various shell companies," the representative said. "The Treasury Department alone has over 150 transactions involving the Biden family and other business associates that were flagged as suspicious activity by U.S. banks."
"Even a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family," he added. "Biden used his official office to coordinate with Hunter Biden's business partners about Hunter's role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company."
"Finally, despite these serious accusations, it appears that the president's family has been offered special treatment by Biden's own administration. Treatment that they not otherwise would have received if they were not related to the president," he explained. "These are accusations of abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption and they warrant further investigation by the House of Representatives."
