Republicans seek Air Force Two records from Biden’s VP tenure for investigation.

House Republicans Request Unrestricted Access to Air Force Two Records

The House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), a member of the committee, have written a letter ‍to the ⁣National Archives and Records​ Administration, seeking unrestricted access to Air Force Two⁣ records from Joe Biden’s time as⁢ vice president.

Their request stems from recent‍ reporting by Fox News, which revealed that Hunter Biden accompanied his ⁢father on over 15 trips to various countries on Air Force Two. ⁣Additionally, Hunter Biden’s former business ‍associate, Devon Archer, testified before the committee, alleging​ that they had met with another business ‌associate in Beijing.

Requesting Unrestricted Access

Comer and Donalds are requesting⁢ “unrestricted special access under the Presidential Records Act (PRA) to certain records related to then-Vice President Biden’s‌ foreign travel with his family⁢ on ‌Air Force Two and Marine Two” from the National Archives.

Their specific requests include all documents and communications from the Executive Office of ‍the President regarding ‌Hunter Biden and his former business associates, as ‌well as manifests that include a⁢ Biden family member on⁢ Air Force Two or Marine Two from Jan. 20, 2009, to ⁣Jan. 20, 2017. They also⁣ seek ‌any ‌documents and communications related to security incidents on these aircraft during that time frame.

“Then-Vice President Joe Biden abused Air Force Two⁤ by allowing his son to jet ⁣set around the world to sell ‘The Brand’ to enrich the Biden family,” stated Comer. “There must⁢ be⁢ accountability for this abuse ⁢of taxpayer-funded ‌resources.”

The committee has been investigating President Joe Biden since the start of this Congress. While they ⁣have ‍uncovered evidence of Joe Biden’s family members receiving money from foreign entities and his personal interactions with his son’s business associates, there ‍is no concrete proof that Biden himself profited from these interactions or his family’s foreign business dealings.

According to Archer’s testimony, the phone calls between Joe Biden and Hunter Biden’s associates were not business-related but rather casual conversations. However, these interactions helped Hunter Biden promote ​”The Biden Brand,” which emphasized his access to‌ influential individuals like his ‌father.

Furthermore, the ‍evidence suggests that Biden did engage with Hunter Biden’s business ⁣associates and that his family received funds from‍ Chinese companies, contradicting Biden’s previous statements.

House Republicans Expose Corruption

“The walls are closing in on the Biden Family due ​to consistent and diligent​ efforts by House Republicans who’ve followed the money, conducted meticulous interviews and hearings, and uncovered undeniable corruption,” declared Donalds. “I am proud to partner with Chairman Comer on this latest undertaking to expose then Vice President Biden’s gross misuse ‌of⁣ Air Force Two and Marine Two‍ to benefit⁤ his family’s enterprise.”

This request comes at a time when the House is considering whether to initiate an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has indicated that⁣ the House could begin the inquiry as early as September, depending on the Biden administration’s cooperation with document requests and interviews.

“If they provide us the documents, ⁣there wouldn’t be a need for an impeachment inquiry,” McCarthy stated. “But if they withhold the documents and fight like they have now to not provide to the American ‍public what they deserve to know, we‍ will move forward with an impeachment inquiry when⁢ we come back into session.”
