Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have dropped another major piece of evidence in the investigation into Joe Biden's ties to his son Hunter's business dealings - particularly where it comes to Bursima.
In a tweet posted Wednesday morning, the committee laid out evidence that, while he was Vice President, Joe Biden "signed off" on talking points related to the response to the Burisma corruption scandal.

According to the new evidence, Vice President Biden's office in 2015 received talking points from a Biden family business associate, which Vice President Biden signed off on.
In one example, on December 4, 2015, Eric Schwerin, a longtime Biden family business associate, wrote to Kate Bedingfield in the Office of the Vice President, providing quotes the White House should use in response to media outreach regarding Hunter Biden’s role in Burisma.
Later that day, Ms. Bedingfield responded to Mr. Schwerin saying, “VP signed off on this[.]”
According to Devon Archer, after a Burisma board of directors meeting in Dubai on the evening of December 4, 2015, Hunter Biden “called D.C.” to discuss pressure that Burisma asked him to relieve.
Rep. James Comer is calling on the National Archives to release unredacted documents related to the exchanges. Specifially, he is asking for the following, according to the tweet:
- Complete and unredacted versions of all documents from Records on Hunter Biden, James Biden, and their Foreign Business Dealings, Case Number 2022-0121-F.
- All documents and communications to or from the Executive Office of the President (including but not limited to the Office of the Vice President) to, from, copying or regarding Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer, Vuk Jeremic, John Robinson “Rob” Walker, or Jeffrey Cooper.
- All documents and communications to or from Kate Bedingfield, Michael Carpenter, Kathy Chung, Amos Hochstein, Colin Kahl, and Alexander Mackler to, from, copying or regarding Hunter Biden or James Biden.
- All executive calendars created for then-Vice President Joe Biden dating from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017.
