Release of Biden's Vice Presidential Records Delayed

The release of records related to President Joe Biden's vice presidential communications, particularly those involving Hunter and James Biden, has been delayed until November 6, 2024, one day after the presidential election. America First Legal (AFL) sued the National Archives in 2022 for these records, citing concerns over influence peddling, and has uncovered prior instances where Biden used a private email for official business and coordinated with Hunter’s firm, Rosemont Seneca. The National Archives has cited the Presidential Records Act as the basis for delaying the release, which AFL claims conceals potentially damaging information until after the election. The records under dispute include emails and financial disclosures from 2015, a timeframe notable for Hunter Biden's involvement with Burisma. Critics argue that the delay raises questions about transparency, especially given the proximity to the election. The Biden administration has denied any wrongdoing, stating that the extension is a legal requirement, not an attempt to hide information.
