President Biden has taken fire this week for reportedly using aliases
and "secret" email addresses as vice president in messages to his son
Hunter Biden, who had business in Ukraine at the time. Under former
President Obama's administration, White House officials defended the use
of alternate email addresses.
During a 2013 press briefing, the Obama-Biden White House, amid
accusations that individuals within the administration had been using
"secret" email addresses for correspondence, highlighted its belief that
using "alternate email addresses" for high-ranking officials made
"eminent sense."
While fielding questions from reporters at the briefing, Jay Carney,
White House press secretary at the time, was asked about a story from
The Associated Press that claimed a variety of senior administration
officials possessed secret email addresses.
Additionally, Carney was asked by the same reporter what the protocol
would be for the administration to release that correspondence via a
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, and whether the contents from
both email addresses — or just the public one or the "secret" one —
would be released should there be a congressional inquiry about a given
subject.
"Let's be clear — this is a practice consistent with prior
administrations of both parties, and, as the story itself made clear,
any FOIA request or congressional inquiry includes a search in all of
the email accounts used by any political appointee," Carney responded.

"So the answer is, all of this information is provided. Having alternate
email addresses for cabinet secretaries and other high-profile officials
makes eminent sense, much as it does for columnists, for example, of
major publications who provide email addresses for their readers but
have alternate work email addresses so that if they are inundated in one
account with either public emails or spam or the like, that they can
continue to use their other account for normal work," he added.
"And that is the case with officials of this administration, officials
of the previous administrations who have had email addresses.

"And the fundamental question here, in terms of FOIA requests and
congressional inquiries, is that all of these email addresses are
included."
The decade-old acknowledgment by the Obama-Biden White House comes into
play as Republicans in the House continue to investigate Biden's
involvement with his family's overseas business dealings and request
certain email communications he had during his time as vice president.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., sent a letter to
the National Archives Wednesday requesting unredacted emails from
President Biden's tenure as vice president, when Biden allegedly used a
handful of pseudonyms to correspond with others.
Specifically, Comer is looking to review unredacted versions of emails
released by the National Archives under "Case Number 2023-0022-F,"
titled on the agency's website as "Email Messages To and/or From Vice
President Biden and Hunter Biden related to Burisma and Ukraine."
In the letter to archivist Colleen Shogan, Comer made a request for any
"document or communication in which a pseudonym for Vice President Joe
Biden was included either as a sender, recipient, copied or was included
in the contents of the document or communication, including but not
limited to Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware."
Comer also seeks any "document or communication in which Hunter Biden,
Eric Schwerin, or Devon Archer was included either as a sender,
recipient, copied, or was included in the contents of the document or
communication" and all "drafts from November 1, 2015, to December 9,
2015, of then-Vice President Biden’s speech delivered to the Ukrainian
Rada on December 9, 2015."
"Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s
foreign business schemes and his duties as vice president, but evidence
reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling,"
Comer said in a statement.
"We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining
and having coffee with his son’s foreign business associates," he added.
"We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of
then-Vice President Biden’s official government duties in countries
where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide
these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden
family’s corruption."
A 2021 report from the New York Post noted that Biden used the
pseudonyms "Robin Ware," "Robert L. Peters" and "JRB ware" on e-mails
that "mixed official and family business."
Previous emails released by the agency showed that Biden used the email
address "Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov" during his time as vice president and
that his aide, John Flynn, copied Hunter Biden on 10 emails containing
the elder Biden’s daily schedule between May 18 and June 15, 2016,
according to the Post.
FBI records made public in September 2016 revealed Obama also used a
pseudonym in email correspondence with former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and others, according to Politico.
