/1🚨BREAKING — As Congress weighs impeachment of Joe Biden, new documents we obtained from our lawsuit against the National Archives reveal evidence of:

🚨Influence peddling
🚨Corruption
🚨Ethical lapses

…all while Joe Biden was Vice President.

We have the receipts:
/2 On March 5, 2015, the Truman National Security Project President Michael Breen invited then-Vice President Biden to be the featured speaker at their annual conference.

At the time, Hunter Biden and Burisma lobbyist Sally Painter were on the Truman Project’s board. Image
/3 The problematic relationship between Hunter Biden and Painter, which the Truman Project never disclosed to the IRS, led to an administrative complaint. Image
/4 On March 7, 2015, Hunter Biden lobbied for his father to accept the invite via his scheduler in the Office of the Vice President. Image
/5 Vice President Biden agreed to keynote the Truman Project event after speaking with Kathy Chung, then-Vice President Biden’s scheduler and gatekeeper. According to the Washington Post, Chung got this job through Hunter Biden.
Image
Image
/6 The newly obtained records do not indicate that former Vice President Biden sought or obtained ethics counsel regarding the propriety of keynoting for an organization whose board included his son and other agents of Burisma. Image
/7 As the President of the Truman Center for National Policy, the Truman Project’s sister organization, Scott Bates also served as an ex officio member of the Truman Project’s board alongside Hunter Biden. Image
/8 In 2014, Truman Project board members Scott Bates and Michael Breen asked Hunter to pitch the Japanese Ambassador on behalf of their private organization, according to an email recovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop. Image
/9 They were unable to secure funding from the Japanese government for the Truman Project in 2014. However, as AFL previously revealed, Hunter had access to official diplomatic channels and had the opportunity to try again at the Japan State Arrival Ceremony in 2015. Image
/10 Hunter’s wife, daughter, and sister-in-law attended the Japan State Lunch at the White House in 2015. Image
/11 A few months later, after Hunter sent a “supportive letter” on behalf of the Truman Project and its sister organization, the Truman Project ultimately secured $100,000 from the Japan Foreign Ministry, according to an email recovered from the Hunter Biden laptop. Image
/12 Hunter Biden’s relationship with the Truman National Security Project and the Project’s having 2 board members who simultaneously represented the interests of Burisma have been central to America First Legal’s claims that the DOJ failed to ensure Hunter Biden was properly registered as a foreign agent. Image
/13 Biden’s Office of the Vice President was clearly aware of their ethical obligations but only enforced the rules in some cases and not others…

Keep reading:
/14 Hunter Biden sought to use the Office of the Vice President to provide a personal service to a former Rosemont Seneca business partner, Caryn Suffredini.
Image
Image
/15 Caryn Suffredini was part of a business group that provided Rosemont Seneca with access to Chinese interests in 2010, according to an email recovered from the Hunter Biden laptop: Image
/16 Arlene Busch was a Partner of Hunter Biden’s at Rosemont Seneca. Unfortunately for Hunter, the Office of the Vice President caught the ethical ramifications. On October 14, 2014, Kathy Chung emailed the Rosemont Seneca team, “we cannot do this.” Image
/17 The pushback could be due to 5 C.F.R. 2635.702(a), which states that “an employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office in a manner that is intended to coerce or induce another person, including a subordinate, to provide any benefit, financial or otherwise, to himself or to friends, relatives, or persons.”Image
Image
/18 If Vice President Biden signed the photo, he would have used his government position to benefit his son, whose business financially benefited from Caryn Suffredini.
/19 If the Office of the Vice President thought it would be ethically problematic for the Vice President to sign a photo of someone who was a financial partner of Rosemont Seneca’s, why did it not find it ethically problematic to accept a speaking invitation to a nonprofit whose board included Hunter and Burisma’s chief U.S. lobbyist?
/20 America First Legal will continue to release documents to the public to uncover the corruption and influence peddling by the Biden family. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1🚨BREAKING: AFL SUES MARICOPA COUNTY TO STOP ILLEGAL ELECTION POWER GRAB🚨

Maricopa County is trying to unlawfully seize control of election operations in Arizona.

AFL just filed a lawsuit to stop this illegal election interference.

🧵👇 Image
/2 AFL filed the lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors on behalf of Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap.

The board is attempting to unlawfully seize control of election operations by refusing to give Recorder Heap the resources he needs to fulfill his statutory duty to administer elections.Image
/3 Arizona law requires the board to fully fund the recorder’s necessary expenses.

Despite this, the board recently passed a budget that permanently transfers the recorder’s key statutory duties to itself and underfunds the recorder’s office.

/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
