Former president Barack Obama accused Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson of giving “credence to a Russian disinformation campaign” by probing a possible conflict of interest between Hunter Biden’s business dealings and Joe Biden’s diplomatic work.
“The request for early release of presidential records in order to give credence to a Russian disinformation campaign — one that has already been thoroughly investigated by a bipartisan congressional committee — is without precedent,” the letter reads. “This use of the special access process serves no legitimate purpose, and does not outweigh or justify infringing confidentiality interests that all presidents have sought to protect.
