During her 2016 presidential election, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was excoriated over her handling of classified emails.

What's more, a new report suggests that President Joe Biden may be about to face an email scandal of his own. 

Joe Biden communicated with son's business partners

According to NBC News, Biden sent emails to business associates of his son Hunter Biden at least 54 times during his tenure as vice president.

They included messages that were sent while the then-vice president was traveling to Ukraine and his son was serving on the board of Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma.

Records released by House Republicans show President Biden exchanged emails with Hunter Biden’s business associate 54 times while he was serving as VP.

Thirty-five of the emails were sent to Eric Schwerin, someone who in addition to working with Hunter Biden also served as Joe Biden's financial adviser between 2009 and 2017 and helped prepare tax returns for the elder Biden.

Among them were messages sent just prior to the then-vice president's Ukraine trip on June 7, 2014 while others were sent leading up to a subsequent visit on November 21, 2014.

President used multiple alias accounts

NBC News noted that the email tally was released by House Republicans in the wake of testimony by IRS whistleblower Joseph Ziegler, who provided metadata to members of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Those records reveal the date and time that the emails were sent along with who received them but their contents are not known. Neither Schwerin nor the White House responded to NBC News' request for comment.

Meanwhile, Fox News reported earlier this month that all of the messages sent to Schwerin by Joe Biden involved alias email accounts bearing the names "robinware456," "JRBware," and "RobertLPeters."

What's more, the House Ways and Means Committee described Schwerin as "the architect of the Biden family’s shell companies."

Committee chairman: Biden "treated Air Force Two like a corporate jet"

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith is among those leading the impeachment inquiry against President Biden, and he told Fox News that a clear pattern of corrupt behavior has emerged.

"Vice President Biden appears to have treated Air Force Two like a corporate jet, traveling to Ukraine and Mexico to advance Hunter Biden’s business interests," Smith told Fox News on December 5.

"Evidence from today’s documents show right around the time of international trips like those to Ukraine, Joe Biden was emailing his son and his son’s business partner from private email accounts using aliases while vice president," he added.
