Last week, Justice Department special counsel Robert Hur released his long-awaited report into President Joe Biden's possession and potential mishandling of classified documents, though Hur recommended no charges be brought.
"The Justice Department must provide Congress with access to Joe Biden's stashed classified documents to determine if they were used to help the Bidens' influence peddling schemes," the committee said Friday in a post on X. "Now that the investigation is over and the Special Counsel's report reveals Joe Biden kept classified materials related to Ukraine and China, two countries where the Bidens made millions, the Department of Justice must provide Congress with unfettered access to these documents," the committee added.
One of the key policies involved improving Ukraine's energy security, according to a readout of an April 2014 call Vice President Biden had with new Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
By the end of April 2014, Vice President Biden visited Ukraine and promised U.S. assistance to "Boost energy efficiency" and "Production in Ukrainian natural gas fields" according to a Reuters report of the trip.
Before his father's trip, Hunter Biden worked to help Burisma retain Blue Star Strategies - a Democratic party connected government relations firm - to improve Burisma's public image in Ukraine and with U.S. officials at the embassy in Kyiv.
Last year, Devon Archer-a former business partner of Hunter Biden's and fellow Burisma board member-testified to Congress that in the first week of December 2015, both Pozharskyi and Burisma owner Zlochevsky asked Hunter Biden to "Call D.C." during a board meeting in Dubai because of the pressure being exerted on the company by Ukrainian authorities.
On Friday, the spokesperson for the White House Counsel's Office, Ian Sams, attacked special counsel Hur's report into Biden's handling of classified documents in a wide-ranging press conference.
