AFL has obtained new photos of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associates and introducing Hunter to China’s President Xi Jinping.
/2 These photos shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials, including President Xi Jinping.
/3 AFL obtained the photos through our lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which was filed on September 8, 2022.
/4 Following the Presidential Records Act, NARA had planned to release these photographs on October 23, 2024 — thirteen days before Election Day.
/5 Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these photos — as they did with other critical records — until after Election Day.
/6 In 2013, then-Vice President Biden went on an official trip across Asia, including a stop in Beijing, China. In these newly-released photographs, Joe Biden appears to introduce his son, Hunter, to President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China.
/7 Joe Biden also appeared to introduce Hunter to China’s then-Vice President Li Yuanchao.
/8 While they were in China, Joe Biden appeared to make time to meet with Hunter’s business associates at BHR Partners, including its CEO, Jonathan Li.
/9 Joe Biden also appeared to meet with the Director and Managing Partner of BHR Partners, Ming Xue.
/10 These photos corroborate the House Oversight Committee’s investigative findings that Hunter Biden arranged for his father to meet with Jonathan Li and other BHR executives during the 2013 China trip, where “Mr. Li sought—and received—access to Vice President Biden’s political power, including, for example, preferential access to then-U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus … a condition of Hunter Biden and his associates participating in the BHR deal.”
/11 AFL’s investigation previously uncovered other evidence showing Hunter’s special access to then-U.S. Ambassador Baucus.
/12 As Vice President, Joe Biden also wrote letters of recommendation for Jonathan Li’s son and daughter, according to testimony from Hunter’s former business partner, Devon Archer, and emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
/13 According to the Committee’s investigation, the Biden Family benefitted from their business dealings with BHR.
/1🚨ROGUE REDISTRICTING — AFL is urging a federal court in Utah to reject a state judge’s congressional map.
The map was drawn by activists and partisan lawyers at the Elias Law Group and would redistrict about half a million voters from a single county into new districts.
/2 Late last year, a state judge ordered Utah’s lieutenant governor to use this new map that would redistrict approximately half a million voters and result in dramatic political point swings.
/3 AFL’s brief argues that this court-imposed congressional map violates federal law, including the U.S. Constitution’s Elections Clause, which requires courts to enforce the last map enacted by the legislature if the current one is unconstitutional.
/1🚨LITIGATION UPDATE — AFL has filed an amended complaint challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s unlawful use of statistical methods in the 2020 Census.
The Constitution demands a complete and accurate Census.
The American people deserve nothing less.
/2 AFL’s complaint, filed in the District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, hones its claims to show that the Census Bureau’s COVID-19 pandemic-related decisions to suspend or alter standard agency procedures crossed the line and caused inaccurate results.
/3 The complaint emphasizes that the most significant COVID-19 pandemic-related change was a sharp increase in the use of imputation — a statistical method that uses someone else’s data to fill in a missing person’s information.
Accurate representation requires an accurate count.
The Trump Administration Wants White Men to Claim Discrimination. This Is What Happens When They Do
“Jeff Vaughn says it was a 2022 billboard that convinced him being White and male was becoming a liability.
The then-evening anchor at CBS’s flagship Los Angeles television station remembers seeing an ad for his news program — and realizing it didn’t feature him.”
“It did include all of his co-anchors, none of whom, he says, was a straight White man like him.
‘That was a real gut punch,’ Vaughn, 60, said in an interview.
‘If you take a look at every person that’s on the billboard, it’s somebody that CBS sees as checking the box, whether it’s a woman or a minority or LGBTQ.’”
/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.
