Republican investigators are seeking "unrestricted special access" to President Biden's vice presidential records to obtain any information about potential contact during that period with Hunter Biden, and other family members and their business partners.
In a letter this week to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), House Oversight Chairman James Comer requested "additional information regarding communications between the Office of the Vice President and Hunter Biden or his business associates." And he also said the committee "needs to review these documents in their original format."
Comer highlights records that were recently posted to the Archives' website with sections redacted under the Presidential Records Act and the Freedom of information Act.
