Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit to compel the release of the emails
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has allegedly admitted to possessing potentially thousands of emails reportedly sent by President Joe Biden under pseudonym email accounts while he was vice president, according to a conservative nonprofit legal group.
In an Aug. 23 press release, the Southeastern Legal Foundation said it had filed a lawsuit compelling the agency to hand over the roughly 5,400 emails potentially linked to the fake email accounts.
The lawsuit (pdf) seeks all of the emails allegedly sent by then Vice President Biden under three personal pseudonym email accounts: Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware.
According to the conservative nonprofit, the pseudonym email accounts were used by President Biden before he took office in the White House to “forward government information and discuss government business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others.”
The lawsuit cites multiple reports, including a letter from Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and another letter from Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, identifying the three pseudonym email accounts as having allegedly been used by President Biden in some communications when he was vice president.
Earlier in August, Mr. Comer also called on NARA to grant him unrestricted access to the unredacted email communications between President Biden—during his time as vice president—and his son and business partners.
NARA Yet to Release Alleged Emails
In its announcement, the Southeastern Legal Foundation said it initially filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request (pdf) to the archives for President Biden’s emails in 2021, at which point NARA responded that “because it did not take custody of then-vice president’s records until January 20, 2017, the emails could not be made public until January 20, 2022.”
Therefore, the legal group renewed its FOIA in 2022, it said.
Following that renewed request, NARA allegedly told the nonprofit that it had performed a search of its collection of vice presidential records and identified “approximately 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files and 200 pages of potentially responsive records that must be processed in order to respond to your request.”
