The Biden-Harris NARA, Biden’s lawyers, and Obama’s legal representatives just delayed the release of Biden’s Vice Presidential records, including records on Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings, until November 6, 2024 — the day AFTER the Election:
/2 We have just been notified by the Biden-Harris DOJ that President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives have claimed an extension under the Presidential Records Act, 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(3)(B), delaying the public release of records from Joe Biden’s time as Vice President, including records relating to Hunter Biden and his foreign business dealings, by the National Archives.
/3 In other words, Biden, Obama, and NARA are concealing these potentially explosive records until the day after the 2024 election, November 6, 2024.
/4 In August 2022, AFL launched a multi-front FOIA investigation, seeking records from NARA related to President Biden’s time as Vice President and Hunter Biden’s corrupt foreign business dealings.Â
In September 2022, AFL filed a lawsuit against NARA to obtain these records after NARA refused to comply.
To date, this lawsuit has uncovered documents revealing evidence that…
/5🚨Then-Vice President Biden used a personal email address for official government business:
/6🚨Hunter Biden should have registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), and the Obama Administration had concerns about Hunter Biden’s appointment to Burisma:
/7🚨The Office of the Vice President coordinated directly with Hunter Biden and his firm, Rosemont Seneca, for press inquiries:
/8🚨Then-Vice President Biden personally signed off on the statement given in response to reporters about whether Hunter’s appointment to Burisma undermines the Vice President’s credibility in pushing anti-corruption measures in the country.
These are just a few highlights…
/9 Now, just a month before the 2024 Presidential election, President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives are delaying the release of documents that include “email messages with James Biden …, Lion Hall …, and [Hunter’s firm] Rosemont Seneca,” about “photographs from a White House visit of Vice President Biden with James Biden [and] preparation of Vice President and Biden’s final tax forms and financial disclosures for the year 2015.”
/10 This is deeply alarming because:
🚨The Presidential Records Act typically provides the incumbent President, or the President and Vice President who were in office when the records were created, 60 working days to review and assert claims of constitutionally based privilege over the records before their release. 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(1)(A), (a)(3)(A).
🚨Accordingly, these records should have been released by September 23, 2024.
🚨Under 44 U.S.C. § 2208(a)(3)(B), they may invoke a 30-working-day extension “by filing with the Archivist a statement that such an extension is necessary to allow an adequate review of the record” for “a claim of constitutionally based privilege against disclosure.”
🚨In this case, invocation of the 30-working-day extension delays the release until the day after Election Day.
🚨An extension had not been invoked in this case until now.
🚨President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives have had since June to review these records, so it is not credible that they need an additional 30 working days to review them for executive privilege.
/11 This would not be the first time that political operatives have attempted to cover up a potential October Surprise right before a presidential election.
/12 NARA’s June 27, 2024 notification related to a tranche of then-Vice President Biden’s records that would have been released last week.
The Presidential Records Act invocation pushes the deadline to November 6, 2024 (the day after Election Day).
/13 Again, NARA described these “Biden Vice Presidential records” as “email messages with James Biden …, Lion Hall …, and [Hunter’s firm] Rosemont Seneca,” about “photographs from a White House visit of Vice President Biden with James Biden [and] preparation of Vice President and Biden’s final tax forms and financial disclosures for the year 2015.”
/14 In 2015, Hunter Biden was receiving regular payments from Ukrainian gas company Burisma and from Gabriel Popoviciu, a Romanian businessman under prosecution. Special Counsel Weiss has since revealed evidence that Hunter “received compensation from a foreign principal who was attempting to influence U.S. policy and public opinion and cause the United States to investigate the Romanian investigation.”
Would the photos of Jim Biden at a White House visit relate to the Romanian President visiting then-Vice President Biden at the White House in 2015?
/15 In 2015, James Biden and his firm, Lion Hall, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in “loans” from Hynansky, a big Joe Biden campaign donor who received federal loans for his business expansion into Ukraine.
How might the records relating to the preparation of Biden’s 2015 tax forms and financial disclosures relate to alleged “loan repayments” from his brother?
/16 President Biden’s lawyers and President Obama’s legal representatives arbitrarily invoked a statutory extension meant for executive privilege review obviously to prevent their public release until after the election. aflegal.org/breaking-biden…

/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.
