/1🚨Did Attorney General Merrick Garland lie to Congress about DOJ’s involvement in the politically-motivated prosecution of President Trump? 

Newly released records reveal troubling contradictions — and raise serious questions. Image
/2 On March 27, 2023, AFL launched an investigation to determine if the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) coordinated with New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s Office in the politically-motivated prosecution of President Trump. Image
/3 AFL requested all communications between specific custodians at the New York County District Attorney’s Office and DOJ mentioning President Trump. Image
/4 A little over a year later, on April 30, 2024, @Jim_Jordan and @JudiciaryGOP sent a letter to Attorney General Garland requesting communications between DOJ and DA Alvin Bragg’s Office mentioning President Trump. Image
Image
/5 On June 10, 2024, DOJ responded to Chairman Jordan’s letter, stating it had searched for communications between DOJ and DA Bragg’s Office regarding President Trump, spanning the time period of his request (which covered the full period of AFL’s request) — and “found none.”Image
/6 But just seven days earlier, on June 3, 2024, DA Bragg’s Office had responded to AFL’s request for communications between their office and DOJ regarding President Trump — and confirmed the existence of 36 responsive records.Image
/7 Despite confirming that these records existed, DA Bragg’s Office said it was withholding all 36 of them, claiming protection from disclosure under “grand jury secrecy grounds” related to “pending criminal litigation” and attorney work product privilege.Image
/8 DA Bragg’s Office’s confirmation that 36 records of communication exist between Bragg’s Office and DOJ regarding President Trump directly contradicts DOJ’s claim to Chairman Jordan that no records of communication exist between DOJ and Bragg’s Office regarding President Trump.
/9 During his own testimony before Congress, Attorney General Garland told the House Judiciary Committee that DA Bragg’s Office was “completely independent” from DOJ and that the case against President Trump was brought “independently, on [Bragg’s] own volition.”Image
@Jim_Jordan @JudiciaryGOP /10 Attorney General Garland told @FmrRepMattGaetz that DOJ does “not control [state District Attorney] Offices. They make their own decisions.” Image
/11 If Bragg’s Office was “completely independent” and didn’t coordinate with DOJ on President Trump’s prosecution, then why are there 36 records of communications between DOJ and Bragg’s Office on that subject?
/12 And why did DOJ deny the existence of these records to Congress?

The Trump Administration Wants White Men to Claim Discrimination. This Is What Happens When They Do Image
“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. Image
/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. Image
/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. Image
/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.

/1🏛️NEW SCOTUS BRIEF — 

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. Image
/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.
