/1 🚨THREAD — records obtained from our investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Mar-a-Lago raid further confirm that the FBI obtained access to these records through a “special access request” from the Biden White House on behalf of the DOJ.
/2 On August 8, 2022, the FBI conducted an unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago on the ground that potentially classified records existed there.
According to press reports, Biden Administration aides were surprised to hear of this development.
/3 However, the new records we obtained from our investigation into the circumstances of the Mar-a-Lago raid reveal the Biden White House & DOJ coordinated to obtain the Trump records and perhaps create a pretext for the law enforcement raid by way of a "special access request."
/4 What this means is that there are substantial discrepancies between what the Archives has told Congress and what appears in its internal communications...
/5 For example, Acting Archivist Debra Wall told @RepMikeTurner on August 16, 2022, that NARA "had not been involved in the DOJ investigation or any searches that it has conducted."
/6 This stunning revelation suggests that NARA was misleading Congress about the White House's role in the shocking raid of President Trump's home, and the fact that the Biden White House was acting "on behalf of" the DOJ raises significant legal concerns.
/7 The special access statute authorizes special access requests to an incumbent president ONLY when the records in question are needed for "the conduct of current business" of the White House...
/8 ...Providing documents to the DOJ for purposes of a criminal investigation is not the "current business" of the White House.
/9 Accordingly, America First Legal is
demanding NARA turn over records related to the Biden White House's involvement in the politically motivated raid of President Trump's
home. aflegal.org/america-first-…
/10 EMAIL HERE — Gary Stern, the National Archives’ General Counsel, confirms in an email obtained by America First Legal that “the Justice Department, via the Biden White House, had made the [special access] request,” regarding the documents at President Trump’s home, Mar-a-Lago

/1🚨✨🏰 VICTORY: Disney has eliminated multiple DEI programs AFL specifically targeted.
Here’s exactly what Disney changed.🧵👇
/2 Last week, Disney announced it planned to eliminate numerous DEI programs, including:
➡️ Its DEI website called “Reimagine Tomorrow”
➡️ Incorporating DEI into executives’ compensation
➡️ Mandatory warnings before classic Disney cartoons
AFL called out EACH of these initiatives in complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and letters sent to Disney’s Board of Directors.
/3 DISNEY DEI CHANGES — “REIMAGINE TOMORROW”
Disney has shut down its DEI “Reimagine Tomorrow” website, cited by AFL over 30 times in our letters.
Disney’s recently filed Annual Report for 2024 removed all references to “Reimagine Tomorrow” that were included in its 2023 Annual Report and cited in AFL’s 2024 complaint and letter.
Disney also appears to have abandoned other discriminatory “[e]mployee development programs and fellowships for underrepresented talent.”
/1🚨BREAKING — AFL has sent a letter to Apple’s CEO and Board of Directors demanding that the company end its illegal DEI programs, warning that its plan to reject a shareholder proposal to eliminate DEI poses significant legal, reputational, and financial risks.
/2 AFL’s letter, sent ahead of Apple’s upcoming annual shareholder meeting, calls for an immediate end to the company’s DEI programs and highlights the material risks these initiatives pose to investors and shareholders.
/3 Apple shareholders have proposed a resolution (Proposal Number 6) requesting that the company abolish its DEI “program, policies, department and goals.”
/1🚨BREAKING — FEDERAL JUDGE McCONNELL MUST RECUSE HIMSELF IMMEDIATELY.
AFL has uncovered a major potential conflict of interest for Judge John McConnell, Chief Judge of the federal district court of Rhode Island, who halted President Trump’s temporary spending freeze.
READ ⬇️
/2 AFL has uncovered evidence suggesting that Judge McConnell appears to be currently serving on the Board of Directors for the non-profit NGO Crossroads Rhode Island, where he was previously the Chair of the Board and is still currently listed as the Chair-Emeritus.
/3 In fact, Judge McConnell has appeared as a Director on Crossroads’ IRS Form 990 every year since he took the federal bench in 2013.
/1🚨BREAKING — New law enforcement documents reveal that Colorado officials knew the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua posed a real and present danger — but withheld the truth from the public for over a year, shielding criminal illegal aliens and endangering U.S. citizens.
/2 AFL has obtained Aurora Police Department records revealing that officials knew about Tren de Aragua’s presence and violent crimes but failed to disclose it to the public for more than a year — until the gang took over an apartment complex, making the threat undeniable.
/3 The documents show that the nonprofit “Organization Papagayo” placed Venezuelan illegal aliens in the Aurora apartments that Tren de Aragua later took over, terrorizing residents with shootings, stabbings, and extortion.
AFL just SUED the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and its tour partners for retaliating against a female employee who reported sexual harassment by a biological man “identifying” as a woman.

🏢 Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO)
🏢 Night Castle Management
🏢 Wild Child Touring
🏢 Production Resource Group LLC (PRG)
🏢 Showpay LLC
@IWF /3 AFL’s lawsuit alleges TSO and the affiliated entities violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Texas labor laws.
/1🚨BREAKING — New NARA emails further confirm that the classified documents case against President Trump was a sham prosecution that involved the Biden White House from the start — long before NARA’s official referral of classified documents to DOJ for investigation.
/2 In 2023, AFL explained how a “special access request” from the Biden White House led to the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago.
/3 In both NARA’s response to AFL and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s superseding indictment against President Trump, the Biden Administration’s official position was that NARA referred the matter to DOJ for investigation in February 2022 after it received classified documents from MAL.
