President Joe Biden may be in a bigger mess over his emails than Hillary Clinton ever faced in 2016.
JustTheNews.com reported on Monday that the National Archives and Records Administration found 82,000 pages of emails that Biden sent or received on three private pseudonym accounts. Biden’s email traffic occurred while he was serving as vice president.
The total “potentially dwarfs the amount that landed Hillary Clinton in hot water a decade ago,” Just The News noted.
The disclosure on Monday resulted from a lawsuit filed by a nonprofit public interest law firm, the Southeastern Legal Foundation.

The foundation sued the NARA under a Freedom of Information Act provision to gain access to the emails on Biden’s phony accounts after Just the News reported on them last year.
NARA’s report “was the first to provide an estimate of the size and scope of possible government business conducted through Joe Biden’s private email accounts,” the outlet added.
“The total revealed by the Archives, however, is stunning in size, even dwarfing the total from the most infamous private email scandal in American history involving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which also involved government business on Obama’s watch,” Just The News added.
A State Department inspector general report in 2016 determined Clinton improperly used a private email server kept in her family’s New York home. Clinton used the system to conduct government business and even sent or received nearly 100 classified emails.
Ultimately, Clinton produced 55,000 pages, or 27,000 fewer than Biden.
The disclosure matters because Biden is under investigation on two fronts.

In one case, he is being probed for improperly storing classified documents at his home and an office at the University of Pennsylvania.
In the other case, House Republicans are pursuing Biden for alleged influence peddling and bribery connected to his son Hunter’s shady overseas business deals.
The White House has been on the defensive about Biden’s responses to the investigation, arguing first that he never discussed the business deals with Hunter to now saying he was not involved.
