The Biden administration faces a difficult decision early next year — whether to block the National Archives from releasing hundreds of Obama-era documents related to first son Hunter Biden and his relationship with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma while Joe Biden was vice president.
The White House has been mum about whether it will invoke executive privilege to stop papers from becoming public Feb. 28, 2023, Insider reports.
The records include 69 images and 260 email messages that mention Burisma and date back to 2014, when Hunter, now 52, had a lucrative seat on the company’s board — a shady relationship The Post exposed in a series of reports in October 2020.
The National Archives informed the Biden White House and the Obama Foundation in a Nov. 30 letter that it planned to release the records in response to a Freedom of Information Act request for vice presidential records created between May and December of 2014 that contain the word “Burisma,” Insider said.
The letter said “several” of the emails involved media inquiries after it was revealed in 2014 that Hunter Biden would accept a seat on Burisma’s board, where he was paid as much as $83,333 a month even though he had no experience in energy issues.

In unrelated news, the national archives mysteriously blew up due to a crack in a gas line. Nothing was damaged except some emails from the obama era.
Executive Priviledge?
Joe Biden wasn’t POTUS back then. By the Democrats own logic, that information can only be blocked by the POTUS then, which was Obama. Now, we need to see a legal signed order that Obama did in 2014 that he invoked executive privilege for Burisma.
Yet, somehow I am certain that the Washington Post and the NYT won’t hold Biden or the government to the same standard.....
Certainly, they don’t want people to know the truth.
They’ll find a crooked judge to come up with a reason to block or stall the release. Or redact enough material to render it harmless.
Would be willing to bet that those emails will disappear. And as usual not a thing will happen. NOTHING.
Well isn't that special......
I agree, but wake me up, when the arrests begin.
Why hasn’t Sniffer pardoned Hunter. he seems to have all the powers of President?
Biden will,block the release for “national security” reasons. There will be a bunch of gnashing of teeth, huffing and puffing, letters and hollow threats by some Rs, then it will be forgotten a week later. The MSM will ignore it. It will quickly fade away again.
Mark my words.
same national archives that targeted mar a lago??
They are the worst. Joe Biden is stupid, demented, corrupt, and in a word, evil.
But the media, most of them are on the same footing as Joe in terms of lack of character, will cover for him. There will only be a minor annoyance to them.
Didn’t the press secretary bring up the fact the since Hunter has never been an elected official his business isn’t a public matter or some such ridiculous statement?
Before Biden leaves he will give his son a pardon for all crimes, real or imagined “For the Good of the Nation.”
Say hello to Gruesome Newsom..aka Governor hair gel
What difficult decision? To ask, order, or beg the NYT to ignore the story? See Tagline.
Spot on to bad most people don’t know who they are MSM propaganda hides many things.
