/1🔎BIDEN DOCS — New emails obtained from our lawsuit against the National Archives provide further evidence that Hunter Biden’s personal business activities comingled with Joe Biden’s official business, beginning in Vice President Biden’s first year in the White House.

READ ⤵️
/2 On May 18, 2009, Alan Hoffman, Deputy Chief of Staff to the Vice President, sent an email to Michael Mongan, Deputy Counsel to the Vice President, with the subject line: “FW: Ethiopia.”

Continue reading… Image
/3 …The email was withheld because its release “would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”

More below… Image
/4 …However, we know from @ChuckGrassley and @SenRonJohnson joint committee majority staff report that Hunter was a Secret Service protectee on an official trip to Ethiopia in June 2009.
finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… ImageImage
/5 If Hunter’s trip to Ethiopia only involved his personal business with Seneca Global Advisors, Biden’s White House advisors’ discussion about Hunter’s trip would not have involved confidential advice to the Vice President.
/6 @ChuckGrassley and @SenRonJohnson supplemental report indicates that Hunter maintained an equity stake in Seneca Global Advisors according to financial documents relating to CEFC, the CCP-affiliated company Hunter had agreed to advise. finance.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… Image
/7 On May 22, 2009, Jennifer Prewitt emailed Hunter’s Rosemont Seneca business partner, Eric Schwerin, and CC’ed:

✔️Hunter Biden
✔️Nancy Massey (Office of the Vice President)
✔️Rob Walker (Biden family associate who received money from a Chinese energy company, and subsequently… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
/8 The National Archives withheld this record in full because, allegedly, the record was a “personal record” that was “misfiled” according to the Presidential Records Act. Image
/9 While Hunter’s activities with Seneca Global Advisors, Rosemont Seneca, Rob Walker, and his financial advisor would seem “personal” in nature, the involvement of political appointees in the White House and DHS infer that Hunter’s activities were commingled with VP Biden’s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
/10 …As such, the National Archives improperly withheld the record under the Presidential Records Act.
/11 On July 14, 2009, Hunter Biden’s business associate, Eric Schwerin, emailed Hunter and the VP’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Alan Hoffman, at his personal email address about “Mr. Gang's visit.”

NARA withheld the email in full because its release “would disclose confidential… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
/12 On that day, China Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Qin Gang spoke at a press conference addressing China’s arrest of employees of Rio Tinto, the world's second-largest metals and mining corporation, for alleged bribery and espionage. Image
/13 Because the National Archives withheld the email in full, it is unclear what was communicated between Hunter’s private business associate and his father’s White House staff, and whether it was related to the topic addressed by Mr. Gang.

However, keep reading…
/14 According to the New York Times, Hunter Biden’s CCP-backed investment fund, Bohai Harvest RST (BHR), was heavily involved with financing China’s acquisition of mining interests around the world, presumably in competition with Rio Tinto. ImageImage
/15 According to documents obtained by the @GOPoversight, Eric Schwerin was the president of the since-dissolved investment fund Rosemont Seneca Partners, which, according to @ChuckGrassley @SenRonJohnson joint committee majority staff report, was merged with CCP-linked firm… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
/16 So on the same day that a CCP official was addressing allegations of political retaliation against Rio Tinto, Hunter’s business partner involved with CCP-backed mining deals was reaching out to VP Biden’s Deputy Chief of Staff about that CCP official’s upcoming visit. Image
/17 Raising further concern, by applying a P5 exemption to the record, the National Archives indicates that it contains “confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”
/18 If the National Archives is asserting that Eric Schwerin was an official advisor to VP Biden, that relationship has not been previously disclosed and raises the specter of serious ethics violations stemming from the conflict of interest. Alternatively, this is just another… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
/19 The National Archives continues to abuse the Presidential Records Act to unlawfully conceal these emails, and the evidence of the Biden family’s corruption, and AFL intends to challenge this improper concealment in court.

/1🚨UVA’s Board of Visitors voted to dismantle its DEI infrastructure.

Instead, UVA just rebranded.

When it failed to comply, DOJ demanded proof.

So AFL investigated — and found the truth:

Same people.
Same responsibilities.
Same agenda.
New titles.

We’ve got the receipts.🧵 Image
Image
/2 Christian West was UVA Darden’s “Senior Director of Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Recruiting.”

Now he’s the “Senior Director of Global Recruitment.”

Same bio.
Leverages the same DEI “partnerships.”
Same race-preferenced hiring practices. Image
Image
/3 Jannatul Pramanik was UVA’s “Associate Director, Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the Office of Admissions.”

Now she’s “Associate Director, Global Recruitment.”

Her role didn’t change.
The discrimination didn’t disappear.
Only the label did. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just sent a letter to DOJ exposing how the University of Virginia is disguising its discriminatory DEI infrastructure under a new lexicon of euphemisms to evade federal law.

The law is clear — and UVA is on notice.

DOJ is watching — and so are we.

đź§µTHREAD: Image
/2 On April 28, DOJ formally directed UVA to certify — “with precision and particularity” — that it had dismantled its discriminatory DEI programs to comply with federal civil rights law and President Trump’s Executive Orders.

UVA didn’t comply.

Instead, it formed a working group to “promote open inquiry” and build a “truly inclusive and welcoming community.”Image
/3 UVA has rebranded its discriminatory policies under new labels, using euphemisms like “Inclusive Excellence,” “Community Engagement,” and “Viewpoint Diversity.”

The names changed — but the substance didn’t.

“Inclusive Excellence” is the framework universities now use to disguise DEI — embedding unlawful preferences based on race, sex, national origin, and other protected traits into operations under the illusion of equity and belonging.Image

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just moved to intervene in a major lawsuit to overturn an unlawful, decades-old, and race-based consent decree — and restore merit-based hiring in the federal government. Image
/2 For 44 years, a race-based consent decree has prohibited the federal government from using a standardized, merit-based exam to hire civil servants.

This is unconstitutional — and it must be overturned.
/3 In 1981, during the final days of the Carter Administration, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) entered into the Luevano consent decree, ending the use of a standardized written aptitude test in federal hiring.

Since then, OPM has failed to identify any test that satisfies the decree’s race-based requirements.

🔥 Unelected judges with apparent political agendas are blocking President Trump’s policies with “nationwide injunctions.”

These activist judges are abusing the judicial power and usurping the will of the people to sabotage the President’s America First mandate.

Here’s how 🧵 Image
President Trump faced over 64 injunctions in his first term — more than any president in history.

Now, it’s happening again. 

This isn’t a normal judicial process — it’s a full-scale judicial power grab to thwart the results of a valid election. Image
Less than 4 months into the second Trump Administration, the judiciary has already issued over 200 orders to halt the President’s agenda — including nearly 40 nationwide injunctions.

/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just filed a judicial complaint against Judge John McConnell, the federal judge blocking President Trump’s spending freeze.

He led a nonprofit set to gain millions from his ruling — a blatant conflict of interest and ethics violation.

He must be investigated. Image
/2 This complaint follows AFL’s explosive discovery that Judge McConnell continued to preside over a case despite a clear conflict of interest.

Now, AFL’s investigation has uncovered even more deeply concerning details…
/3 Judge McConnell is presiding over New York v. Trump, a lawsuit brought by 21 states and D.C. challenging President Trump’s temporary freeze on federal funding.

In February, he ordered taxpayer money to continue flowing to the states, including to Crossroads Rhode Island, where he served as a board member and board chairman over a span of nearly 20 years.Image
