Grassley, Johnson Demand National Archives Fulfill Request for Biden Records

“The American people deserve a full accounting of Joe Biden’s activities.”

WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) are renewing their request for the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to provide records related to former-President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents and use of pseudonyms and personal email addresses for official business during his time as Vice President. 

“Since 2021, we have conducted oversight of Joe Biden’s use of multiple pseudonyms and personal email addresses for official government business when he served as Vice President. Despite our multiple requests for information, the Biden White House failed to respond,” the senators wrote

“Although former President Biden is no longer in office, and he pardoned his son Hunter and other family members, we believe it is of importance to review these records so the American people have a full accounting of Joe Biden and his family’s activities while Joe Biden was in government,” they concluded
