House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration requesting unredacted records and emails from President Joe Biden’s time as vice president that show his communications team working with one of his son’s business associates to squash stories about Burisma.
Emails released by the National Archives show that Biden’s communications director, Kate Bedingfield, would email Eric Schwerin, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, about press inquiries the vice president received regarding Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
According to the emails, Schwerin, who served as managing director of the investment firm Rosemont Seneca Partners, which Hunter Biden co-founded with Devon Archer, would help walk through ways to squash stories about Hunter Biden’s position on the board.
