IRS Whistleblowers Expose Hunter Biden Investigation and Political Interference

Two IRS whistleblowers testified before Congress, alleging that the U.S. Justice Department officials hindered the investigation into Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son. The whistleblowers claimed that decisions were made to benefit Hunter Biden throughout the investigation, and that they were discouraged from pursuing the case fully. They also alleged that Hunter Biden improperly claimed business deductions for personal expenses. Republican lawmakers supported the credibility of the whistleblowers, while Democrats argued that there was no evidence of interference or wrongdoing by President Biden or his administration.

Judge orders release of Prince Harry's immigration records for US visa case.

A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deal with requests for Prince Harry's immigration records after the Heritage Foundation sued the agency, alleging that the Biden administration gave him "preferential treatment" in allowing entry to the U.S. The suit claimed that the administration allowed the prince to enter the U.S. despite his admission of illegal drug use. DHS entities rejected the original FOIA request, citing privacy concerns for the British royal. The judge has given DHS until June 13 to notify the court on whether it will expedite or respond to a request for the records.
