National Archives has 5,000+ emails from VP Biden pseudonym accounts

House Republicans went after President Joe Biden for using pseudonyms in a number of emails. Now, the National Archives revealed there are approximately 5,400 such emails, files and records. 

The pseudonyms used were Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware. Each pseudonym had its own email address — robinware456@gmail.com, JRBWare@gmail.com and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov. 

The Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) made a Freedom of Information Act request for the records in June 2022 and is now suing. The conservative legal organization wants a federal judge to order the documents be released to the public. The SLF said the National Archives has not released a single email and “dragged its feet.”

“All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit. When they do, many seek to hide it. The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for [the National Archives and Records Administration] to release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails to SLF and thus the public. The American public deserves to know what is in them,” SLF General Counsel Kimberly Hermann said in a statement.  

The National Archives informed SLF that the documents have to be processed and reviewed, and representatives for former President Obama and President Biden must be notified. 

As Straight Arrow News previously reported, the House Oversight Committee is also asking the National Archives for the emails, many of which are already online but partially redacted. 

The Oversight Committee is asking for unrestricted special access so its investigators can review whether there was overlap between Biden’s official duties as vice president and his son’s activities in Ukraine. 

Investigators are especially interested in an email regarding Biden’s call with former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. It was sent to the pseudonym Robert Peters and Hunter Biden was the only person copied on it.

President Biden has repeatedly denied he was ever involved in his son’s business dealings. He doubled down on the denial even after Hunter’s business partner Devon Archer testified before Congress that then-Vice President Biden joined phone calls with his son’s partners and met them in person.
