Biden and Obama Lawyers Block Release of Potentially Damning Biden V.P. Records Until After the Election

Joe Biden and Barack Obama’s lawyers have succeeded in blocking the release of potentially incriminating records involving Hunter and James Biden until after the election, according to Just the News.

In September 2022, America First Legal sued the National Archives for all of Biden’s Obama era vice presidential communications related to the Biden clan’s influence peddling operations.  The National  Archives have been stonewalling the release of the information, releasing only “a trickle of documents” in the the ensuing two years.

Record released thus far have revealed that then-Vice President Biden used a private email for official business, Hunter Biden was in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), the Obama regime had concerns about Hunter Biden’s appointment to Burisma, and Biden’s office had direct coordination with Hunter Biden’s business on press inquiries.

The records being blocked reportedly include ”email messages with James Biden …, Lion Hall …, and [Hunter’s firm] Rosemont Seneca,” about “photographs from a White House visit of Vice President Biden with James Biden … [and] preparation of Vice President and Biden’s final tax forms and financial disclosures for the year 2015.”

 

Now, Biden and Barack Obama’s lawyers have invoked the Presidential Records Act, delaying the release of additional potentially damning records until after the election.

“We have just been notified by the Biden-Harris DOJ that President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives have claimed an extension under the Presidential Records Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(3)(B), delaying the public release of records from Joe Biden’s time as Vice President, including records relating to Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings, by the National Archives,” America First Legal said in a post to X.

“In other words, Biden, Obama, and NARA are concealing these potentially explosive records until the day after the 2024 election, November 6, 2024,” the group added.

The Presidential Records Act, according to America First Legal, “typically provides the incumbent President, or the President and Vice President who were in office when the records were created, 60 working days to review and assert claims of constitutionally based privilege over the records before their release.”

The group said the invocation of the act is “deeply alarming” because Biden and Obama’s lawyers “have had since June to review these records, so it is not credible that they need an additional 30 working days to review them for executive privilege.”
