On the eve of Hunter Biden’s tax trial in California, the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has sued several federal agencies for records revealing whether Joe Biden or any family members ever received a defensive briefing on the First Son’s business dealings. The lawsuit alleges that these requests go to the core of whether President Biden and his family were made aware of the potential Kompromat that could have been developed against them as a result of Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
The records requests from the Heritage Foundation focus on revealing any defensive briefings given to government officials and individuals at risk of becoming targets of foreign intelligence services. This comes amidst allegations by two IRS whistleblowers, who claim that Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris was deemed off-limits to tax investigators probing Hunter’s activities.
The existence of the briefing was immediately leaked to The Washington Post in an apparent attempt to discredit their investigation and spook Republican colleagues during an ongoing probe into Hunter’s business dealings. If counterintelligence defensive briefings were provided to Biden family members, as might be expected considering Hunter’s high-risk entanglements with shady oligarchs and Chinese military intelligence figures during his father’s vice presidency, the Heritage Foundation wants to know why Hunter continued to take millions of dollars from foreign partners, including CEFC, and why his father met with those partners even after his vice presidency ended.
Other defendants named in the lawsuit include the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the State Department. The conservative Washington, DC think tank filed the lawsuit after the federal agencies failed to comply with numerous FOIA requests in April.
