Hunter Biden’s Lawyers to Meet with DOJ Officials Next Week as Prosecutors Consider Charges

 

Hunter Biden’s lawyers will meet with DOJ officials next week to discuss the criminal investigation into Joe Biden’s son.

 

Hunter’s lawyers are scheduled to meet with US Attorney from Delaware Davis Weiss (a Trump appointee) and at least one other DOJ official, CNN reported.

 

According to reports, prosecutors are considering bringing misdemeanor and felony charges against Hunter Biden for tax crimes and false statements related to a gun purchase.

 

CNN reported:

 

Lawyers for Hunter Biden are scheduled to meet next week with US attorney David Weiss and at least one senior career official from Justice Department headquarters to discuss the long-running investigation into the president’s son, multiple sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

 

The Hunter Biden legal team had reached out to Justice officials in recent weeks, asking for an update on the case. As is routine when lawyers request a status update, they were invited to meet next week, according to one source familiar with the meeting.

 

Weiss, the US Attorney in Delaware who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, is overseeing an ongoing criminal case into President Joe Biden’s son.

 

After prosecutors narrowed down the possible charges Hunter Biden could face last year, there haven’t been any public developments. According to sources familiar with the investigation, prosecutors are still weighing whether to bring two misdemeanor charges for failure to file taxes, one count of felony tax evasion related to the overreporting of expenses, and a false statement charge regarding a gun purchase.

 

The Feds are mishandling the criminal investigation into Hunter Biden, according to an IRS supervisor who is seeking whistleblower protection.

 

In 2020 Hunter Biden revealed that he is under investigation by the feds over his taxes.

 

“I learned yesterday for the first time that the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware advised my legal counsel, also yesterday, that they are investigating my tax affairs,” Hunter Biden said in December 2020. “I take this matter very seriously but I am confident that a professional and objective review of these matters will demonstrate that I handled my affairs legally and appropriately, including with the benefit of professional tax advisors.”

 

Hunter Biden is also under criminal investigation for making a false statement in connection with a gun purchase.

 

An IRS whistleblower says Hunter Biden is receiving “preferential treatment.”

 

White House scandals spokesman Ian Sams issued a statement Thursday denying Joe Biden is behind the political interference in the investigation into Hunter Biden.

 

“Since he took office and consistent with his campaign promise that he would restore the independence of the Justice Department when it comes to decision-making in criminal investigations, President Biden has made clear that this matter would be handled independently by the Justice Department, under the leadership of a U.S. Attorney appointed by former President Trump, free from any political interference by the White House. He has upheld that commitment.” the White House statement read.

Oprah Builds Giant Wall Around Her Montecito Estate That will Likely Redirect Floodwaters to Her Neighbors

 

 

Oprah Winfrey has amassed an impressive collection of Montecito real estate over the last two decades.

 

But the media mogul’s latest headline in the luxury community is not about a house, but a wall — one that neighbors fear might reroute flooding onto their properties during the next rainstorm.

 

After months of heavy rainfall and flooding across the community, a boulder wall was installed along San Ysidro Creek, which runs along Winfrey’s estate, to protect the property from flooding and creek erosion, according to Santa Barbara’s Noozhawk.

 

It’s a reasonable precaution; Montecito has long been prone to weather disasters, including a 2018 mudslide filmed by Winfrey that killed 23 people, a number of whom were swept into San Ysidro Creek. Earlier this year, the area was evacuated when a storm swept through the community.

 

But residents fear that the wall could redirect the creek, pushing floodwater onto other properties during intense rainfall.

 

“You can’t alter creek canals and not expect there to be results,” Sharon Byrne, executive director of the Montecito Assn., said in an interview with Noozhawk. “Don’t change the creeks. They are going to shift and move on their own.”

 

The wall was reportedly installed by Jimenez Nursery, which obtained a permit to build it on Feb. 1, a few weeks after the area was evacuated. The permit sought to reconstruct the creek bank after the flood and replace boulders that had either eroded or washed away.

 

This month, a group of officials and inspectors met at the wall to analyze the project after a complaint was filed with the county. John Zorovich, a deputy director for the Santa Barbara County Planning & Development Department, told SF Gate that an investigation was ongoing.

 

The wall was built on Winfrey’s Santa Rosa Lane property, which she bought at auction for $28.85 million in 2015. At the time of the sale, the 23-acre estate known as Seamair Farm held a ranch-style home built by prolific architect Cliff May as well as equestrian facilities such as a stable, barn, riding rings and a horse trainer’s house.

 

The property was an expansion of “the Promised Land,” Winfrey’s famous main residence that she picked up for around $50 million in 2001. The 42-acre spread centers on a 23,000-square-foot Georgian-style mega-mansion overlooking the ocean.

72-Hour Ceasefire Declared In Sudan As Death Toll Surpasses 400

 

One of Sudan’s two warring factions, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has on Friday declared a 72-hour ceasefire following almost a week of fighting to take control of the country.

 

But there are reports that despite the truce declaration, armed clashes have persisted north of the capital of Khartoum. The other side, the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), had not immediately confirmed whether it recognizes the ceasefire.

 

Fighting broke out last Saturday, and is fundamentally a power struggle between rival generals representing the two factions, and has largely been confined to the capital, but threatens to engulf the rest of the country.

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) meanwhile announced a fresh death toll Friday, saying at least 413 people are confirmed killed and 3,551 wounded or injured.

 

The situation has continued to deteriorate over the past days, also as the Pentagon said it is moving troops in place in the region in preparation to execute a potential emergency evacuation order. US diplomats and embassy staff are still said to be sheltering in place.

 

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has also said it can't deliver urgent aid due to lack of security guarantees and potential for its workers to be subject to violence.

 

"Our urgent priority is to get medical assistance to more hospitals and to work to make repairs to their water and power infrastructure. We are ready to deliver more supplies as soon as there is a pause in the fighting," the president of the ICRC Mirjana Spoljaric said.

 

The ceasefire offered by the RSF appears to be because of Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the formal end of Ramadan, and began Friday.

‘Believe It Now’: Kayleigh McEnany Says Hunter Biden Laptop Letter Proves ‘Deep State’ Is Real

 

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that the 2020 letter from former intelligence officials regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop proved that the “deep state” was “real.”

 

“If you’re a Democrat, guess who your campaign surrogates are? They’re not like people you pedal in the media, they’re not influencers, although you get those too if you’re a TikTok star in [the] Biden administration. Your campaign surrogates are intelligence officials,” McEnany said on “Outnumbered.” “That’s what we learned, that [Antony] Blinken, the guy that goes on to become secretary of state, is organizing a letter of former intel officials.”

 

“So if you have a D behind your name, Democrat, you get this high-profile, highly-connected group of people in Washington, former officials, current officials who will band together, write a letter on your behalf, you got guys like Brennan, Panetta, Clapper, the media will fully buy into the letter and social media will ban anyone that says otherwise or questions it,” McEnany continued.

 

Dozens of former intelligence officials signed an October 2020 letter published by Politico that claimed a bombshell New York Post report about emails from a laptop supposedly abandoned by Hunter Biden “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

 

Twitter locked multiple accounts, including the New York Post’s and the personal account of McEnany, for sharing the Oct, 14, 2020 report, citing a “hacked materials” policy. Documents released to journalist Michael Shellenberger by Elon Musk show that the FBI contacted Twitter about the potential for leaks involving Hunter Biden prior to the New York Post’s report.

 

“If you’re a Republican, you don’t not get that treatment, you get a fake dossier made, you get FISA surveillance authorization and safeguards circumvented and get people spying on your campaign spied on and you get the media buying hook, line and sinker,” McEnany continued. “If you didn’t believe there was a deep state, believe it now after this story came out. It’s not just a term pedaled in the deep, dark holes of the internet. It’s real.”

 

The Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed the authenticity of one of the emails in October 2020. The Washington Post and New York Times confirmed the authenticity of the data in March 2022 in articles about investigations into Hunter Biden by the Department of Justice.

Merrick Garland revealed to be senior Biden official named by IRS whistleblower in Hunter Biden tax cover-up: report

 

The White House has dismissed the claims.

 

Attorney General Merrick Garland has been identified as the "senior" Biden administration official at the center of a new IRS whistleblower claim, a source familiar with the situation told the Daily Mail.

 

The whistleblower, a career IRS Criminal Supervisor Special Agent, claims that politics are "improperly infecting decisions" in a high-profile criminal tax probe, which is reportedly related to President Biden's son, Hunter Biden.

 

The allegations contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a "senior political appointee," who has now been identified as Garland.

 

The whistleblower's claims also involve "failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in the ultimate disposition of the case," as well as "preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected," according to a letter from attorney Mark Lytle.

 

The letter was sent to senior members of the House and Senate, and the whistleblower has already shared information with the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration and the Department of Justice's inspector general.

 

The revelation has shaken Capitol Hill and both political parties. Sen. Dick Durbin, (D-IL), who is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said, "We take all whistleblower statements seriously, as we should. Some turn out to be very important and some not. But we take them all seriously at the outset and look at them closely."

 

Chairman of the House Oversight Committee James Comer, (R-KY) claimed that Hunter Biden has been involved in "deceptive, shady business schemes" that have seen the president's relatives rake in "millions from foreign adversaries like China."

 

The White House has dismissed the claims, referencing the independence of the Department of Justice. "The president respects the rule of law and the independence of the Department of Justice," press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said when asked about the claims.

White House: ‘Bizarre’ That House Republicans Want Billions of Unspent COVID Funds Returned to Treasury

 

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday it was “bizarre” that House Republicans want to rescind unobligated coronavirus aid funds to the Treasury Department.

 

Fifty to sixty billion dollars in coronavirus taxpayer funds are unspent, according to FreedomWorks.

 

President Joe Biden suspended the coronavirus national emergency in April.

 

“Would he [Biden] be interested in reviewing whether there is some of that [COVID] money that could be returned to Treasury?” a reporter questioned Jean-Pierre during the White House press briefing.

 

Jean-Pierre praised Biden’s management of the pandemic but said the pandemic is not over. “But we are in a different place,” she claimed.

 

“It is bizarre, after the progress that we have seen, for Republicans to be asking this,” she said about returning taxpayer funds to the Treasury.

 

On Wednesday, House Republicans launched a plan to raise the debt limit with spending cuts. The bill would increase the debt limit by $1.5 trillion and cut spending by $130 billion. As reported by Breitbart News, the proposal would:

 

Rescind unobligated coronavirus aid money

Block “unfair” student loan giveaways

Repeal “market distorting green tax credits”

Repeal the roughly $80 billion in funding to hire 87,000 IRS agents made available thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act

Implement the Regulations from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny (REINS) Act, which would curb the regulatory state

Enact H.R. 1, the Lower Costs Energy Act, a sweeping energy reform bill

 

Biden has refused to negotiate with Republicans while condemning the plan.

 

“Folks, you got to ask yourself, what are MAGA Republicans in Congress doing?” Biden questioned the proposal. “Why are they doing this? What is the purpose.”

 

According to FactChecker.org, “Biden is cherry-picking Republican priorities that would add to the deficit, while ignoring that Republicans are also calling for spending cuts that would more than make up for those losses.”

Supreme Court Protects Access to Abortion Pill

 

The supreme court protected access to the abortion pill mifepristone

 

CNN reported:

 

The Supreme Court on Friday protected access to a widely used abortion drug by freezing lower-court rulings that placed restrictions on its usage.

 

As a result, the US Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the drug mifepristone and subsequent actions that made it more easily accessible will remain in place while appeals play out – potentially for months to come.

 

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito publicly dissented.

 

The legal proceedings will continue.

 

As the Associated Press previously reported, Justice Samuel Alito issued an order Wednesday delaying the ultimate decision until today. Alito, who is responsible for handling emergency appeals from Texas, gave no reason for his ruling.

 

Pro-life doctors and medical groups represented by the socially conservative Alliance Defending Freedom filed suit back in November challenging the federal government’s authority to issue mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions.

 

The legal challenge quickly reached the Supreme Court after U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, a Donald Trump appointee based in Texas, on April 7 revoked FDA approval of mifepristone. abortions.

 

At nearly the same time, U.S. District Court Judge, Thomas O. Rice, a Barack Obama appointee in Washington state, ordered U.S. federal officials not to make any changes that would restrict access to the drug in at least 17 states where Democrats sued in an effort to protect availability.

 

Less than a week later, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals altered Kacsmaryk’s ruling so that mifepristone would remain available while the case continues. The court ruled the drug should only be approved through seven weeks of pregnancy for the time being. The FDA since 2016 has endorsed use of mifepristone through 10 weeks of pregnancy.

 

The court also said that the drug cannot be mailed or dispensed as a generic. Patients who seek the drug also need to make three in-person visits with a doctor.

 

The second part will have noticeable consequences nationwide because generic mifepristone makes up two-thirds of the supply in the United States according to its manufacturer, Las Vegas- GenBioPro Inc.

 

Mifepristone first won FDA approval in 2000, and conditions on its use have been loosened in recent years, including making it available by mail in states that allow access.
