House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said, “every day there’s more connection” between President Joe Biden and “criminal bribery” and money laundering schemes involving Hunter Biden and foreign nationals.
While appearing on Hannity, Comer said he believes the president likely used a fake email name to help shore up his son’s position with a Ukrainian oligarch.
HUNTER BIDEN INVESTIGATION: COMER REQUESTS UNREDACTED EMAILS AND DOCUMENTS FROM NATIONAL ARCHIVES
On Thursday, Comer sent a request to the National Archives and Records Administration, asking for unrestricted special access to unredacted emails and documents from Joe Biden’s time as vice president regarding Hunter Biden and Burisma.
One email specifically referenced in Comer’s request includes a conversation about a “phone call with Pres Poroshenko,” referring to Petro Poroshenko, who was president of Ukraine at the time. The email was sent to “Robert L. Peters,” a name reported as an occasional pseudonym for then-Vice President Joe Biden. In addition, Hunter Biden was CC’d on the email.
“I believe that one reason that Hunter was CC’ed on those emails, where Joe Biden was using a fake name, is so Hunter could prove to the Ukrainian oligarch that help is on the way,” Comer said. “We heard Devon Archer say that the owners of Burisma were squeezing Hunter Biden, saying we need help from Washington.”
“Who do you think they were referring to when they were talking to Hunter Biden — who they said was dumber than their dogs, who was a drug addict, who had no experience, that ‘we need help from Washington’? Who do you think they were talking about?” Comer continued. “And here we see, now, evidence that shows Joe Biden didn’t have a wall between the government and his son’s shady business dealings. He was copying him on foreign policy to let him know ahead of time: ‘Help is on the way. We’re gonna go in there, and we’re going to fire that prosecutor who is trying to bust you for corruption, son.’”
The House Oversight chairman noted that the pseudonym reportedly used by Biden shows a “pattern,” connecting it to whistleblower testimony and evidence regarding activity in Romania.

“It is all a pattern here,” Comer added. “This is something we’ve been talking about for a long time. The Democrats, their friends in the media, trying to say there is no connection to Joe Biden. Every day there is more connection. I think these emails today are consistent with the timeline that shows exactly what the real quid-pro-quo was in Ukraine. It was Joe Biden.”
When asked if the investigation now directly includes allegations against Joe Biden for bribery and money laundering, Comer said: “That’s a very fair statement.”
