/1🚨BREAKING — As Congress weighs impeachment of Joe Biden, new documents we obtained from our lawsuit against the National Archives reveal evidence of:
/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.
/3 The problematic relationship between Hunter Biden and Painter, which the Truman Project never disclosed to the IRS, led to an administrative complaint.
/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.
/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.
/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.
/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.
/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.
/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.
/10 Hunter’s wife, daughter, and sister-in-law attended the Japan State Lunch at the White House in 2015.
/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.
/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.
/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…

/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.
/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:
/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.”
/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.”
/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 just filed a new lawsuit against HHS and CMS to expose the architects behind a Biden-era organ transplant policy that financially rewards higher transplant volume and prioritizes race in transplant decisions.
/2 Last week, AFL filed a lawsuit to determine who within the Biden Administration was behind its race-based organ transplant policy.
This new lawsuit seeks to uncover the outside influencers who shaped the program, and why.
/3 The lawsuit targets the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for failing to produce records tied to a federal transplant program that rewards hospitals for increasing kidney transplant volume and embeds race into the process.
/1🚨VICTORY — AFL DEFEATED Maricopa County’s attempt to hijack County Recorder Justin Heap’s election integrity lawsuit and block us from representing him.
An Arizona court fully rejected the blatant power grab.
Our lawsuit against Maricopa County will now proceed.
/2 After Recorder Heap chose AFL to represent him in a lawsuit against the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell filed another lawsuit against him, claiming that she had the right to select his attorney, and she did not want AFL to represent him.
/3 In its ruling, the Maricopa County Superior Court held that Arizona law does not give the county attorney authority to control a county officer’s legal representation.
/1🚨VICTORY — AFL has BROKEN Nashville’s years-long stonewalling over the Covenant School shooter’s “manifesto.”
A Tennessee appeals court REJECTED Nashville’s attempt to withhold records related to the shooting and keep the public in the dark.
/2 The ruling from the Court of Appeals of Tennessee at Nashville reverses most of a lower court decision that allowed the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (Metro) to withhold the shooter’s “manifesto” in full.
/3 The court’s ruling made clear that government agencies cannot rely on sweeping legal theories to justify total secrecy, and must instead conduct a record-by-record review, redacting only what is lawfully protected and releasing the rest under Tennessee’s Public Records Act.
AFL has uncovered that MULTIPLE states lack evidence to support their claims of harm in their lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s federal wind regulation review.
/2 Last year, 17 states and D.C. sued the Trump Administration and several federal agencies, challenging the implementation of the Wind Memo, claiming it would cause irreparable harm to each state’s environment, climate, and economic, transportation, and security interests.
/3 The plaintiff states include New York, Massachusetts, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and the District of Columbia.
AFL filed a brief on behalf of @tedcruz, @Jim_Jordan, and 26 members of Congress urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship and restore the Fourteenth Amendment’s original meaning.
/2 AFL’s brief, filed in partnership with Boyden Gray PLLC, supports President Trump’s Executive Order 14160, “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.”
/3 Executive Order 14160 restores the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which the lower courts wrongly blocked by expanding birthright citizenship beyond what the U.S. Constitution allows.
AFL filed a new amicus brief after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear Noem v. Al Otro Lado, a major case on whether courts can rewrite federal immigration law and block critical border security tools.
SCOTUS must reverse the Ninth Circuit’s ruling.
/2 AFL’s brief, filed with Boyden Gray PLLC, on behalf of U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa and U.S. Senators Ted Cruz, Ted Budd, Mike Lee, Kevin Cramer, and Josh Hawley, urges SCOTUS to reverse the Ninth Circuit’s ruling on the merits and stop a decision that would cripple border security.
/3 The Supreme Court’s decision to take the case puts this dispute on the main stage.
