/1🚨BREAKING — We just sued Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Biden DOJ for failing to require Hunter Biden to register as a foreign agent while Joe Biden was Vice President.

We have the receipts. Let’s break it down in a thread⤵️ Image
/2 In March, AFL obtained emails from litigation against the National Archives and Records Administration confirming that Hunter directly represented Burisma in its dealings with the Obama White House.
/3 Hunter was both a board member of Burisma, a “foreign principal” under 22 U.S.C. § 611(b), and an attorney at the law firm representing it.
/4 Hunter Biden was arguably Burisma’s agent and subject to FARA registration because he was an officer of Burisma and appears to have represented Burisma’s interests to the Office of the Vice President. Image
/5 An “agent of a foreign principal” under FARA includes: https://t.co/40kNdsfhInjustice.gov/nsd-fara/fara-…
Image
/6 Attorney General Garland failed to require proper registration or otherwise follow legal procedures concerning a FARA waiver for Hunter.
/7 Following this damning revelation, AFL filed a formal complaint with the DOJ against Hunter Biden for failing to register under FARA.

/8 Federal law makes clear that no person shall act as an agent of a foreign principal unless he has filed with the Attorney General a true and complete registration statement and files applicable supplements – none of which occurred during the Obama administration. Image
/9 More recently, the National Archives released an email showing that Hunter Biden was involved in a phone call between Vice President Biden and then-Ukrainian President Poroshenko. Image
/10 On July 10, 2023, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment against Gal Luft for willfully failing to register under the FARA by engaging in political activities in the United States on behalf of CEFC and Ye Jianming, a Chinese national.
Image
Image
/11 However, Hunter Biden’s lucrative business arrangements with CEFC and Ye Jianming have been well known for years.
/12 @SenateHomeland and the @SenateFinance released joint investigative reports on September 23, 2020, and November 18, 2020, detailing the complex web of relationships and financial arrangements between the Biden family and their business associates with CEFC and Ye Jianming.
Image
Image
/13 On July 30, 2017, the @WaysandMeansGOP obtained WhatsApp messages where Hunter wrote to CEFC officials that he was “sitting here with my father” and threatened them. Full message below:
/14 Once again, the Biden family appears to have used their name for influence peddling overseas.

The DOJ has failed to follow official legal procedures and require Hunter to either register as a foreign agent or obtain a waiver. A
/15 AFL will continue to hold Hunter Biden and the DOJ accountable for circumventing the law and conducting foreign affairs illegally while Joe Biden was Vice President. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1🚨BREAKING — Rep. @ByronDonalds is now a plaintiff in AFL’s landmark lawsuit challenging the 2020 Census.

The Census SKEWED population counts and STOLE representation.

Every American deserves to be counted AND represented. Image

/1🚨 BREAKING: AFL has filed federal civil rights complaints against THREE Virginia localities for race-based discrimination.

AFL is requesting @CivilRights investigate:
-City of Alexandria
-City of Richmond
-Arlington County
/2 Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits race-based discrimination by entities receiving federal funding.

Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment.

These jurisdictions appear to be violating both.
/3 AFL’s complaint highlights how the City of Alexandra passed a resolution, which Alexandria’s Office of Race and Social Equity (RASE) describes as motivating the city’s commitment to “embedding racial and social equity into all city policies, programs, decisions, and environments.”Image

/1🚨BREAKING—AFL has filed a complaint with the Dept. of Education, urging an immediate investigation into Illinois’ new law forcing annual mental health screenings on children without parental consent—a clear violation of federal law and shocking expansion of state power. Image
/2 Illinois’ Public Act 104-0032 orders schools to screen kids in grades 3–12 for mental health issues at least once a year, starting in 2027.

No consent. No parental notice. Just the State interrogating children about their private emotions, family life, and home environment—and recording their answers in a government database.
/3 Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, schools must obtain affirmative written parental consent before subjecting any child to any “survey, analysis, or evaluation” about their mental health or psychological condition.

Illinois’ new law ignores that requirement entirely.

/1🚨PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN — America First Legal just released a template letter that parents can use to opt out of radical classroom instruction and woke school policies. Image
/2 AFL’s letter enables parents to exercise their rights after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

The Court held that a school district violated parents’ rights by failing to provide notice and an opportunity to opt out before exposing children to radical LGBTQ storybooks.
/3 AFL’s letter also helps parents exercise their rights under the PPRA — a federal law that requires schools to give parents notice and an opportunity to inspect classroom materials.

/1🔎NEW — AFL has expanded its investigation into the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau.

We’re examining the bureau’s involvement with anti-ICE groups and Antifa — and whether it let radical demonstrators disrupt ICE operations, assault reporters, or shield Antifa. Image
/2 AFL has requested records to uncover how Portland officials may have enabled lawlessness — including by assisting anti-ICE groups in acquiring office space.
/3 This expands AFL’s ongoing investigation into the City of Portland, which previously uncovered its explicit inclusion of race as a central component of the city’s policing practices to achieve “equitable outcomes.”
