and the emails therein; 

Whereas the letter stated, ‘‘emails purportedly belonging to 

Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to 

his time serving on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian 

information operation’’; 

Whereas the Committee on Oversight and Accountability of 

the House of Representatives confirmed that Hunter 

Biden exchanged emails with Devon Archer regarding a 

trip to Ukraine by then-Vice President Biden, in which 

Hunter Biden stated, ‘‘the announcement of my guy’s 

upcoming travels should be characterized as part of our 

advice and thinking’’; and 

Whereas the United States Department of Justice has since 

recognized the laptop’s authenticity in United States of 

America v. Robert Hunter Biden, and United States 

prosecutors have introduced it as evidence in a criminal 

trial: Now, therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
