Release of Biden's Vice Presidential Records Delayed Until After Election
Lawyers for Biden and Obama have invoked the Presidential Records Act to delay potentially embarrassing disclosures involving Hunter Biden.
- The National Archives has postponed releasing Joe Biden's vice presidential records, including emails related to Hunter Biden, until November 6, 2024.
- America First Legal, a conservative group, has been seeking these records since 2022, alleging they contain incriminating information about the Biden family.
- The records reportedly include emails between then-Vice President Biden and his son Hunter's business, Rosemont Seneca, as well as other family business dealings.
- Biden and Obama's legal teams requested an extension under the Presidential Records Act, citing the need for more time to review the documents for executive privilege.
- Critics argue the delay is politically motivated, as the records were initially set to be released before the election, and the legal teams have had since June to review them.
