As The New York Post notes, Brandon used the email address “[email protected]” while Barack Obama’s second-in-command and that his aide John Flynn cc’d Hunter on 10 emails containing the elder Brandon’s daily schedule between May 18 and June 15, 2016.
Comer’s request specifically covers records using Brandon’s other known pseudonyms — “Robin Ware” and “JRB Ware” — and makes pointed requests for certain documents, such as drafts of Brandon’s December 2015 speech to Ukraine’s parliament.
In addition to the pseudonyms, Comer wants records in which Hunter, Eric Schwerin, or Devon Archer were copied and drafts of Joe’s speech to the Ukrainian Parliament in December 2015.
