Wanna get away? With federal and congressional investigations hanging over his head, first son Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen escaped Los Angeles by spending the weekend at a $50 million vineyard owned by medical device company executive Joe Kiani — a major donor to Democrats and Biden. Hunter, Melissa and their Secret Service protectors arrived at Kiani Preserve, about three hours north of LA in the heart of Santa Barbara wine country, in a four-car motorcade Friday evening — one week after the 53-year-old returned to the US from accompanying his father and aunt on a state visit...

President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan denied his role in the Biden family’s alleged foreign influence-peddling “conspiracy” in Ukraine. “Do you have a response to that and were you a part of a corrupt influence peddling operation involving the Biden family in Ukraine or other countries?” Sullivan was questioned during Monday’s White House briefing. “No,” Sullivan replied before quickly taking another question from reporters.

An Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower hinted to congressional leaders last week that the FBI improperly blocked aspects of the Hunter Biden investigation and that Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys blocked an indictment against the president’s son on tax charges. The carefully worded letter also indicated Attorney General Merrick Garland had testified inaccurately when he told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the Trump-appointed Delaware U.S. attorney had the authority to file charges against Hunter Biden in other jurisdictions. Here are six reasons this whistleblower should terrify those behind the DOJ’s Biden family protection racket. 1. Whistleblower Has Corroborating Evidence While Wednesday’s letter...

Date: 4/24/2023. Hunter Biden’s legal team is asking the Treasury Department to investigate a former Trump aide for circulating federal banking records linked to the president’s son and asking Congress to take action against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for her statements about Biden. (Snip) In their letter to the House Ethics Committee, Biden’s lawyers request action be taken against Greene, R-Ga., for her statements and conduct regarding Biden, alleging violations of the House Ethics Code and standards of official conduct. “Representative Greene’s unethical conduct arises from her continuous verbal attacks, defamatory statements, publication of personal photos and data, and promotion...

'There’s not going to be anybody left for a Christmas picture if the [Department of Justice] did their job...' (Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) A least a dozen relatives of President Joe Biden are likely to be exposed for benefiting from foreign businesses tied to Biden, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., said to Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “There’s not going to be anybody left for a Christmas picture if the [Department of Justice] did their job and went in there and indicted everyone that has any type of fingerprints involved in this influence-peddling scheme,”...

Thanks to his commitment to the Democratic Party’s climate cult, President Joe Biden is now pledging to pass money through the United Nations to the Chinese Communist Party. On Thursday, Biden promised to send $1 billion in taxpayer money to the United Nations’ Green Climate Fund. The corrupt bureaucrats at the U.N., who are increasingly beholden to the CCP, consider China to be a developing country. Therefore, that $1 billion can be funneled to China. This would be at least the second time in the past few months that Biden promised to help the U.N. funnel American taxpayer dollars to...

Hunter Biden’s lawyer sent letters Monday morning calling for investigations into two of the president’s son’s top Republican agitators. Abbe Lowell, Biden’s attorney, wrote to the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Inspector General regarding former Trump administration official Garrett Ziegler and also to the Office of Congressional Ethics about Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to the letters. The probes relate to Ziegler‘s handling of “suspicious activity reports” (SARs) and Greene‘s constant criticism of the Biden family. “Ziegler has used Mr. Biden’s SARs and other financial records to craft a false narrative that Mr. Biden is associated...

JUAN WILLIAMS: They're using Hunter Biden to go after President Biden. That's why you said President Biden's worrief -- look, I think that it is not, I just think going after a relative and a child who was an addict with serious problems, I don't see it. SHANNON BREAM: If he's done some of the things they alleged he did, should he get a pass, as a child of a president? JUAN WILLIAMS: No. I pose the question differently. There is a difference between investigators in the process, that's not unusual. But would you bring charges against this person...

Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican on the House Oversight Committee, warned that new information brought by an IRS whistleblower who is seeking protection to testify before Congress, could force a Biden impeachment. The investigation into the Biden family crimes has now revealed that at least 9 members of the family were involved in the family’s money laundering schemes. At least 9 Biden family members sold access for profit around the world. They are the definition of a crime family. Rep. Tim Burchett, told Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria” on Friday, “This is just the very tip of the...

Rep. Nancy Mace went on America’s Newsroom on FOX News on Friday morning with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. During her segment Rep. Mace revealed that there are SEVERAL MORE Biden family members involved in their criminal grifting. Rep. Mace also said there are more shell companies to explore and more questions about what the Biden family members were being paid for. It appears Joe Biden and his family were selling out the American people for decades. Rep. Nancy Mace: This whistleblower is putting everything on the line to provide the American people with this information. It should be investigated...

Attorney General Merrick Garland is the previously unidentified official who, according to an IRS whistleblower, misled Congress about the Justice Department’s probe into Hunter Biden, a report alleged Friday. Garland refused to name a special counsel in Hunter’s tax investigation to provide a degree of separation between President Joe Biden and his Justice Department. Garland has repeatedly testified before Congress that U.S. Attorney David Weiss has the “full authority” to make a criminal referral against Hunter without the permission of the Justice Department. Garland noted he would personally have to “authorize” any charges. “There will not be interference of any...

Testimony Reveals Secretary Blinken and the Biden Campaign Were Behind the Infamous Public Statement from Former Intel Officials on the Hunter Biden Laptop

Let’s say you lied on a required federal firearms form to conceal your use of illegal drugs so you could buy a .38 caliber handgun, then you irresponsibly lost that gun across the street from a school, and then the government found video evidence of you waving that gun around while cavorting with a prostitute. If you had done all those things within a few days in 2018, do you suppose that by five years later, the government would have taken exactly zero action against you? No arrest. No indictment. No prosecution. In fact, do you think that, if it...

Federal prosecutors have considered charging Hunter Biden with three tax crimes and a charge related to a gun purchase, said two sources familiar with the matter. The possible charges are two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, a single felony count of tax evasion related to a business expense for one year of taxes, and the gun charge, also a potential felony. Two senior law enforcement sources told NBC News about "growing frustration" inside the FBI because investigators finished the bulk of their work on the case about a year ago. A senior law enforcement source said the IRS...

A decorated supervisory IRS agent has reported to the Justice Department's top watchdog that federal prosecutors appointed by Joe Biden have engaged in "preferential treatment and politics" to block criminal tax charges against presidential son Hunter Biden, providing evidence as a whistleblower that conflicts with Attorney General Merrick Garland's recent testimony to Congress that the decision to bring charges against Biden was being left to the Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney for Delaware. According to a letter from the whistleblower's attorney Mark Lytle to Congress obtained by Just the News, the IRS agent revealed he is seeking to provide detailed disclosures about...

A whistleblower has come forward with allegations of preferential treatment and political interference by federal prosecutors appointed by President Joe Biden in order to protect his son, Hunter Biden, from criminal tax charges. In a letter addressed to multiple US Senators, the agent reveals he has already made legally protected disclosures internally at the IRS, through counsel to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, and to the Department of Justice, Office of Inspector General. “The protected disclosures: (1) contradict sworn testimony to Congress by a senior political appointee, (2) involve failure to mitigate clear conflicts of interest in...

As many Americans who waited until the last minute will likely rediscover this weekend, filing federal taxes is a complicated and frustrating task. No matter how much care is taken, mistakes happen—and fairly often. During the 2021 tax filing season, for example, the IRS "suspended and reviewed 35 million returns with errors," according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which annually reviews the IRS' performance and makes recommendations for improvement. Those errors can be the result of taxpayers failing to include a necessary form or complete information, though they can also be the results of mistakes...

House Republicans are expanding their investigation of the Biden family to include “six additional members” who “may have benefitted” from potentially criminal business enterprises. On Monday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer of Kentucky revealed the committee is now probing nine individuals linked to the family’s influence-peddling operations after a review of “thousands” of documents at the Treasury Department. “Thousands of pages of financial records related to the Biden family, their companies, and associates’ business schemes were made available to members of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, which confirm the importance of this investigation,” Comer said in a press...

RedState has reported extensively on the investigation of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee into the questionable business dealings of Hunter Biden and numerous Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) generated in relation to them. As noted by the Oversight Committee in January:According to media reports, more than 150 of Hunter Biden and the Biden network’s international business transactions have generated suspicious activity reports (SARs) by U.S. banks for further review by the Treasury Department to determine if there is illegal activity or a threat to national security. The Treasury Department’s longstanding practice was to provide these reports to Congress, but the...

Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday morning and commented on President Biden's trip to Ireland with his son, Hunter playing a role in the visit The House Oversight Committee Chairman slammed the inclusion of Hunter amid investigations as a "sad part of our American history." REP. JAMES COMER: … The business plan for all practical purposes is the Biden family takes money from our adversaries around the world for doing things that we haven't yet determined. Now, there is no business, but with respect to seeing Hunter Biden on Air Force One, seeing Hunter Biden...
