The email pseudonyms — “Robert Peters,” “Robin Ware,” and “JRB Ware” — were reportedly used to exchange government information and engage in business-related discussions with Hunter Biden and his associates. This comes from the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a legal advocacy group that has filed a lawsuit demanding the release of these emails.
“All too often, those in public office exploit their position for personal or political gain, then try to hide their actions,” said Kimberly Hermann, general counsel for the Southeastern Legal Foundation.
“The National Archives must release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails to uphold government accountability. The American people have a right to know.”
In a call for full transparency, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has asked the National Archives to release all documents where then-Vice President Joe Biden used these aliases.
“Despite Joe Biden’s claims of a ‘wall’ separating his family’s foreign business dealings from his responsibilities as Vice President, evidence suggests that the barrier was quite porous,” said Comer. “To get to the bottom of this, we need the National Archives to release these unredacted records.”
Republicans have been voicing concerns since 2021 about the use of the “Robert Peters” alias, as it’s atypical for government officials to operate under pseudonyms within secure government networks.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) stated, “My office first uncovered this issue in 2021, and despite our repeated requests for clarification, we’ve received no response from the White House. Biden’s lack of transparency on this issue is deeply troubling.”
An email received by the “Robert L. Peters” alias back in 2016 included Hunter Biden in its carbon copy field and dealt with Ukraine. This email also had an attachment listing then-Vice President Biden’s schedule, indicating communication with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
Kash Patel, former Deputy Director of National Intelligence, weighed in, saying, “While Vice President, Joe Biden seems to have utilized taxpayer funds to establish a secure email channel, linked to his and Hunter’s dealings with various foreign entities. This goes beyond anything seen in previous administrations.”
The email address with the “Robert Peters” alias ends with the “@pci.gov” domain name, which is directly connected to the Department of Defense network. According to official sources, this network is used by various high-level agencies, including the Secret Service and the Executive Office of the President, and meets stringent emergency communication requirements.
