WASHINGTON — The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday demanded records from Joe Biden’s vice presidency citing the “suspicious” timing of his alleged communications about Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma Holdings.

Biden approved press quotes about Burisma, which was paying his son Hunter Biden $1 million per year, on Dec. 4, 2015 — the same day Hunter allegedly called his dad from Dubai with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky and Burisma board adviser Vadym Pozharskyi, committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote to the National Archives.

“On December 4, 2015, at 10:45 a.m. — in an email with the subject of ‘Quotes’ — Eric Schwerin (a longtime Biden family business associate) wrote to Kate Bedingfield in the Office of the Vice President providing quotes the White House should use in response to media outreach regarding Hunter Biden’s role in Burisma,” Comer wrote to Archivist Colleen Shogan.

“Later that day — at 2:30 p.m. — Ms. Bedingfield responded to Mr. Schwerin saying, ‘VP signed off on this’,” Comer wrote. 

“The timing of this email traffic is concerning to the Committee. According to Devon Archer … after a Burisma board of directors meeting in Dubai — on the evening of December 4, 2015 (midday in Washington, D.C.) — Hunter Biden ‘called DC’ to discuss pressure that Burisma asked him to relieve.”

Comer requested from the Archives “all” of Biden’s calendars from his vice presidency and communications involving an array of Biden family associates and top officials.

Archer, formerly a close Hunter Biden associate, testified to the Oversight Committee on July 31 that Hunter Biden, Zlochevsky and Pozharskyi stepped away from a meeting at the Four Seasons in Dubai to “call DC,” which he believes was a euphemism for Joe Biden.

“They were feeling the heat or whatever. And they were like, okay, can we — can we call DC,” Archer said.

“I think they were getting pressure and they requested Hunter, you know, help them with some of that pressure… government pressure on their — you know, government pressure from Ukrainian government investigations into Mykola, et cetera,” Archer said.

“Listen, I did not hear this phone call, but he — he called his dad.”

Archer added, “I was left out of these, you know, black box DC types of conversations.”

Zlochevsky allegedly told an FBI informant in 2016 that he was “coerced” into paying $10 million in bribes to Joe and Hunter Biden in exchange for the then-vice president’s pressure on Kyiv to oust Ukrainian prosecutor-general Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma.

Pozharskyi, who allegedly joined Hunter Biden to call his dad in late 2015, dined with Joe Biden in Washington that April — with his thank-you note forming the basis of The Post’s first bombshell report on documents from Hunter’s abandoned laptop.

The president has tried to laugh off the unproven Burisma bribery accusation, asking in June, “Where’s the money?”

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to address Comer’s request or the content of the communications he cited at her regular briefing Wednesday.

Ian Sams, a spokesman for the White House counsel’s office, tweeted that Comer was telling “lies” and spreading “total nonsense.”

Sams noted that the quotes that Joe Biden approved Bedingfield to release to the media sought to distance the vice president from his son’s role at the scandal-plagued Ukrainian firm.

The approved quote read: “Hunter Biden is a private citizen and a lawyer. The Vice President does not endorse any particular company and has no involvement with this company. The Vice President has pushed aggressively for years — both publicly and with groups like the US-Ukraine Business Forum and privately in meetings in with [sic] Ukrainian leaders — for Ukraine to make every effort to investigate and prosecute corruption in accordance with the rule of law. It will once again be a key focus during his trip this week.”

House Republicans are moving closer to launching an impeachment inquiry into the president citing evidence that he was closely linked to his relatives’ foreign dealing in countries where he held sway.

Comer set a Sept. 20 deadline for the National Archives to satisfy his latest request for documents.

Biden publicly claimed credit for forcing out Shokin by threatening to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees.

“I looked at them and said, ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” Biden said at an event hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018. “Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”

Shortly before his removal, Shokin’s office won a court order to seize Zlochevsky’s property on Feb. 2, 2016, the Kyiv Post reported. Shokin was fired on March 29 by a vote of the country’s parliament.

The elder Biden spoke on the phone four times in February and March 2016 with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and once with Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk as he urged Shokin’s ouster.

Although Biden’s defenders say he was advancing established US policy, internal alleged Obama-Biden administration emails published last month by Just the News indicate officials were surprised that Biden was pushing for Shokin’s removal as a condition of US aid.

“Yikes. I don’t recall this coming up in our meeting with them on Tuesday,” National Security Council aide Eric Ciamarella alleged wrote in a Jan. 21, 2016, email, adding that “we were super impressed with the group” from Shokin’s office that visited DC.

“Joe Biden never built an ‘absolute wall’ between his family’s business dealings and his official government work — his office doors were wide open to Hunter Biden’s associates,” Comer said in a Wednesday statement that accompanied the new document request.

“Americans demand accountability for this abuse of government office for the benefit of the Biden family.”

Comer has led a probe that is expected to lay the groundwork for Biden’s possible impeachment — deposing witnesses, subpoenaing bank records of Biden family associates, and reviewing Treasury Department suspicious activity reports filed by banks.

His pending requests before the Archives include demands for Air Force Two flight manifests that list Hunter and emails involving Joe Biden’s use of the pseudonyms “Robert L. Peters” and “Robin Ware,” of which nearly 5,400 reportedly exist.

Comer’s latest request for documents covers “[a]ll executive calendars created for then-Vice President Joe Biden dating from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017.”

He’s also seeking unredacted files covered by a pending Freedom of Information Act request and “all documents and communications to or from the Executive Office of the President (including but not limited to the Office of the Vice President) to, from, copying or regarding [Biden family business associates] Eric Schwerin, Devon Archer, Vuk Jeremic, John Robinson ‘Rob’ Walker, or Jeffrey Cooper.”

The letter further demands “[a]ll documents and communications to or from [Biden aides] Kate Bedingfield, Michael Carpenter, Kathy Chung, Amos Hochstein, Colin Kahl, and Alexander Mackler to, from, copying or regarding Hunter Biden or James Biden.”

House Democrats impeached then-President Donald Trump in 2019 for pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and argued that Shokin was ousted for his own corruption.

Hunter — who has earned at least $1.3 million by selling his novice artworks since his father became president, including to a presidential commission appointee — and his uncle James repeatedly involved the now-president in foreign dealings.

Hunter wrote in records retrieved from his abandoned laptop that he had to give “half” of his income to his dad and the Oversight Committee in May identified nine Biden relatives who allegedly received foreign income from shady figures in China and Romania.

Archer told the committee that Joe Biden was on speakerphone for about 20 business meetings with Hunter’s associates and dined at least twice in Washington with his son’s Kazakhstani, Russian and Ukrainian patrons.

Hunter traveled aboard Air Force Two with his dad on an official trip to Beijing in 2013 as he set up a state-backed investment fund called BHR Partners. Hunter introduced Joe Biden to incoming CEO Jonathan Li and Joe Biden later wrote college recommendation letters for Li’s children.

As part of a later Chinese business venture with government-linked CEFC China Energy, Hunter and James Biden’s associates in May 2017 penciled in a 10% cut for Joe Biden. The president allegedly met with his son and brother’s business partners in that deal, including Tony Bobulinski, and he was listed as a participant in an October 2017 call about CEFC’s attempt to purchase US natural gas.

Hunter also flew with his dad aboard the taxpayer-funded jet to Mexico in 2016 with Cooper as the pair courted that nation’s business elite, whom Hunter’s father had hosted the preceding year at the official vice president’s residence in Washington.
