Hunter Biden's misdemeanor tax charges have been dismissed by a federal judge in Delaware, an expected move after his "sweetheart" plea deal fell through last month during his first court appearance in the case.

The Justice Department submitted a filing last week to dismiss the case ahead of a possible trial on Biden's felony gun charge in a different district.

After the plea deal fell apart, Biden pleaded "not guilty" as federal prosecutors confirmed he is still under federal investigation. He was expected to plead guilty to the two misdemeanor tax counts of willful failure to pay federal income tax as part of the plea deal to avoid jail time on the felony gun charge.

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., is calling on Congress to investigate Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, accusing her of conducting her court with open bias and partisanship in handling the cases of people linked to Jan. 6, 2021 at the U.S. Capitol.

Chutkan is also the judge overseeing the U.S. government’s case against President Trump for allegedly attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

He’s introducing a resolution in the House to both censure Chutkan and direct the House Judiciary Committee to probe her conduct.

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe says that the mainstream media won’t cover the corruption because they are co-conspirators and complicit in everything.

“I don’t think it’s that they are ignoring it, I think it’s that they’re scared. Look, you have to keep in mind that they’re all co-conspirators in this. They’re all complicit in this…

They were all part of this and they’re all complicit in this and there is so much at stake, and if it unravels, it’s not just political folks that will take a fall on this…”

When this is all said and done, I believe many people will be going to jail. Conspiring to overthrow a duly elected President of the United States? I’m no lawyer, but these are serious crimes.
A U.S. judge on Friday declared that Donald Trump had filed a "frivolous" appeal of his decision not to dismiss the first of writer E. Jean Carroll's two defamation lawsuits stemming from her claims that she raped her.

An attorney representing Jeffrey Clark in the Georgia case against President Trump is requesting the trial date be pushed back.

Clark, a former Justice Department official, was named as one of the 18 codefendants in the ongoing Georgia racketeering case.

His attorney, Harry MacDougald, wrote in a court filing Thursday that District Attorney Fani Willis' rushed schedule for the trial "could be interpreted as an attempt to stake out a place at the head of the line of prosecutors seeking the ‘prize’ of trying the former President before the 2024 presidential election."

On Thursday, US District Judge Maryellen Noreika denied Hunter Biden's motion to seal IRS whistleblower materials. The judges also reprimanded the first son's lawyers for falsely claiming the materials contained "social security" and "grand jury" information in their effort to keep the materials under seal.

Whistleblower testimony was given by Gary Shapley, who worked for the IRS investigating Hunter Biden. He testified before Congress in June that his investigation was improperly held up and intentionally hindered due to partisan politics favoring Joe Biden and his presidential campaign in 2020.

The U.S. military is preparing for the possibility it has to evacuate its personnel and equipment from Niger due to the security threat that could upend U.S. operations in the region.

Abdourahamane Tchiani, a presidential guard general, placed Nigerien President Mohamed Bazoum under house arrest late last month in what has been the latest in a string of military uprisings in the Sahel region of Africa. The Biden administration has been reluctant to declare the situation an attempted coup, in part because a designation could compel Washington to cut military ties with them, while the Economic Community of West African States is considering the possibility of a military intervention.

Rudy Giuliani roasts Fani Willis: “I don’t even think she knows what the RICO statute is. You know how many mistakes she made in that indictment? Do you know how she made it so much more possible to remove the case because she’s SO DAMN STUPID that she didn’t bother to read 28 USC 1442?” 🔥
