Senator Ted Cruz sounded out in an email from Hunter Biden to a Burisma associate, saying that with new developments about the extent of Biden’s latest scandal, Information was disclosed and the letter showed that he had access to classified material.
Cruz joined “Sunday Morning Futures” to discuss why the email was “unusual” and how it infers that he had “direct access” to information that may be related to Biden’s alleged mishandling of thousands of records.
“Hunter Biden didn’t write that,” Cruz told Maria Bartiromo. “Hunter Biden is not a Ukraine expert. He is not an Eastern Europe expert. He is not a Russia expert, but this email did get him on the board of Burisma. It did help him get paid $83,000 a month, Because it shows that some level of expertise didn’t come from him, but he got it from somewhere. It’s clearly from some kind of briefing. We don’t know if it’s a classified briefing, but it’s the kind of analysis that’s often done internally classified briefing.”

“This email is unusual among Hunter Biden’s emails, it has a level of scholarship and learning that even if it magically appears, it doesn’t appear in some way in other emails he sends ,” he continued. “The obvious question is where did he cut and paste it? What was his source? It follows naturally that Hunter Biden had direct access to these classified documents.”
The emails in question are from 2014 — Hunter Biden sent letters to Devin Archer, who also sits on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

Lawmakers were quick to note that the content of the emails suggested that Hunter did not possess a level of energy expertise, claiming he would have had access to classified information — which, in turn, may have been linked to the discovery of several classified documents related to his father, Found in various unsafe places.
Bartiromo said lawyers involved in the scandal revealed that Biden donated 1,850 boxes of materials and 415 gigabytes of digital records to the University of Delaware.
But questions about who had access to the material remained unanswered.
“Hunter Biden has sometimes declared his residence to be these places,” Cruz said. “So I think the natural next step for the FBI is to examine the 1,850+ boxes of documents from the University of Delaware’s Joe Biden Senator’s tenure, and I also think it’s critical for the FBI to search for Hunter Biden’s documents given all the evidence that’s piling up , we want to make sure there are no classified documents in there. We need to determine who has access to what and when.”

But another burning question in the scandal also remains unanswered: Who funded the archiving of the records?
The University of Delaware has not released information about who is financially responsible for maintaining the records, which Cruz called “unacceptable.”
Bartiromo asked about the possibility of China financing the joint venture directly.
“It certainly seems like a reasonable inference,” Cruz responded. “Of course, when Joe Biden went to Penn, communist China paid millions of dollars to fund what he did. We also know that communist China paid millions to Hunter Biden and the Biden family Dollars, so communist China has a long history of writing checks.”
“The fact that the University of Delaware is trying to keep these documents secret — the fact that it says it won’t release any documents until two years after Biden leaves office — I don’t think that’s acceptable,” he continued.
The latest developments come as Republican lawmakers have been frustrated with their investigation into the matter, accusing the White House of stifling efforts to answer lingering questions.
They also accused the National Archives of ignoring their requests for clarification; House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) asked the Archives to communicate with the Biden team on the matter.
The filing deadline passed a few days ago without any response.

Still, a National Archives official is expected to answer questions publicly with the committee on Tuesday to clarify the dispute.
“We need to understand a whole different level of whether any of these classified documents that Joe Biden illegally possesses in multiple locations involve his own family’s business activities and potential corruption, whether it involves Burisma and Ukraine, whether it involves communist China and the entities that paid millions of dollars to the Biden family,” Cruz said.
“If he, in fact, had classified documents involving his own finances, that would raise the possibility of very serious criminal liability,” he continued.
