Republicans are seizing on new information about Joe Biden’s use of fake names on email accounts that they say is evidence of corruption within the Biden family.
On Monday, it was revealed that then-Vice President Joe Biden sent more than 82,000 pages of email exchanges under pseudonymous accounts over an eight-year period.
The pseudonyms used in emails about official companies and family businesses included: ‘robinware456@gmail.com, JRBWare@gmail.com and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov.
‘WOW – BIG NEWS!’ wrote former President Donald Trump in a reactionary post on Truth Social.
Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Joe Biden sent 82,000 emails under a fake name when he was vice president. Corrupt!’
The staggering figure was released Monday by the National Archives as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by the conservative nonprofit Southeastern Legal Foundation.
The amount is well above the 33,000 emails that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton deleted from her personal server, causing a nationwide scandal.
“This could dwarf the Crooked Hillary email scandal,” GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., wrote on X.
It is the first time that the enormous volume of correspondence has been revealed to the public
In late 2018, Hunter Biden withdrew his $20,000 from daughter Maisy’s savings to help fund a months-long drug and whore ring, DailyMail.com can reveal

She said House Republicans will hold the Biden family accountable through their ongoing investigation.
The admission comes as Republicans are seeking records showing Joe Biden used pseudonyms to discuss his Ukraine-related activities with his son Hunter during his time as vice president. It is central to their ongoing impeachment inquiry into the sitting president.
Elected officials are required by law to keep all correspondence conducted during their time in office, including government work, on a personal server.
Joe’s emails cover a period of eight years, which the archives say is a large scope and that it will take a while to provide all copies of the correspondence.
“NARA has completed a search for potentially responsive records and is currently processing these records with the goal of producing non-exempt portions of responsive records on a monthly basis,” the filing said.
It says that because of the “scope” of the FOIA request, “the volume of potentially responsive records is necessarily large.”
“NARA has identified approximately 82,000 pages of potentially responsive documents and is currently processing those documents and preparing any non-exempt responsive documents for production on a rolling basis,” the filing said.
Republicans have asked NARA for an unredacted document showing that then-Vice President Biden had a phone call with Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko on May 27, 2016.
Republicans say the document was emailed to “Robert L. Peters” with Hunter Biden’s copy.
At the time, top Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating oil company Burisma Holdings for corruption – the same company of which Hunter was a sitting board member.
Their demands come after Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner Archer testified before the House Oversight Committee earlier this month that Joe Biden’s “brand” was protecting Burisma because “people would be intimidated into messing with them.”
Hunter’s presence on Burisma’s board and access to his father — then vice president — led to the company’s “longevity” because they had “the capabilities to navigate DC,” Archer said, according to the transcript.
Hunter’s best friend and business partner served with him on the board of Burisma from 2014. They also co-founded Rosemont Seneca Partners, an investment advisory firm.
He confirmed that Hunter put Joe on speakerphone 20 times during business meetings over a ten-year period, which was a “signal” of “value,” and Hunter used his father as a “defense tool.”
He also told lawmakers that Joe personally sat and dined at least twice with Hunter and his foreign business associates, who then transferred money to Biden-affiliated companies almost immediately afterward.
The then-vice president also attended another dinner with Hunter and his partners at Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C., in 2015, Archer confirmed.
“Dear Hunter,” reads a note from a Ukrainian director after dinner. “Thank you for inviting me to DC and giving me the opportunity to meet your father and spend some time together.”
At another dinner with Burisma executives at the Four Seasons in Dubai, Hunter said he could get “help from DC” to alleviate some “government pressure” on the company.
Archer testified that Burisma “was under pressure” and as a result, “they asked Hunter, you know, to help them with some of that pressure.”
He said it was “government pressure” because of the ongoing Ukrainian investigation into the company at the time – led by top prosecutor Shokin.
However, Archer said Shokin “wasn’t specifically on my radar as an individual that was targeted.”
‘But yes, there was constant pressure. And it was like a mole in terms of the pressure that needed to be resolved,” Archer continued.
Hunter Biden committed ‘abuse of soft power’ by putting his father on speakerphone during business meetings — while Joe Biden knew aides were in the room, according to Devon Archer
He said Burisma executives were not specific in their direct question of “can the big man help?”
Instead, they used the “amorphous” term: “can we get help in DC?”
Archer understood “DC” to mean Hunter’s influence, based on his connection to his then-VP father.
“Well, I mean, he was a lobbyist and an expert and he obviously had a very powerful name. So I think that’s what they were asking for,” Archer said.
In March 2016, Joe Biden reportedly threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid to Ukraine if Shokin was not fired for corruption, which he ultimately did.
“Joe Biden has stated that there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business plans and his duties as vice president, but evidence shows that access was wide open to his family’s influence,” Comer said in a statement statement to DailyMail.com.
“We already have evidence that then-Vice President Biden spoke, dined and had coffee with his son’s foreign business associates. We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were briefed on then-Vice President Biden’s official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest.”
Archer also added that Hunter Biden would call his father “my man,” which Republicans noted Monday after the closed-door testimony.
According to the transcript, Hunter was “paid a lot of money” by Burisma and “wanted to show value” by taking credit for Joe Biden’s previous trip to Ukraine in 2014.
“I can’t guide my father in what he’s going to do on this journey, but let’s take credit for it,” Archer said, as Hunter reflected, referring to his father as “my man.”
