Terry, Greg Treverton, John Tullius, David A. Vanell, 
Winston Wiley, Janice Cariens, and Kristin Wood, re-
leased a public letter regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop 
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 com-
pany 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 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) recognizes— 
(A) the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s 
laptop;
