Lawsuit alleges Garland and DOJ neglected Hunter Biden’s foreign agent registration during Burisma tenure.

America ⁤First ⁤Legal⁣ Sues ⁣DOJ Over Hunter Biden’s ​Failure⁢ to Register ‍as ⁢Foreign Agent

America ‍First Legal⁣ (AFL) has ​taken legal action against ‍Attorney General ⁣Merrick⁤ Garland‍ and ‌the ‍U.S.⁢ Department of Justice​ for their failure to ⁢require Hunter ‌Biden​ to register ​under the⁤ Foreign⁤ Agent ⁢Registration Act‌ (FARA)‌ during the Obama ⁤administration.

AFL recently ⁣obtained ⁢emails through⁣ a​ lawsuit against ⁤the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)‍ that confirm Hunter ⁢Biden’s⁣ direct ⁣representation⁢ of ⁢Ukrainian ⁢energy ⁤company ‌Burisma⁤ while his ‍father⁣ was in office.

“Hunter⁢ acted ⁤as ‌a board ⁤member of ⁤the⁣ company — which ⁢fits ‌the definition of a ⁤’foreign principal’ ⁤under‌ 22 U.S.C. §⁣ 611(b)​ —⁢ and ‍served as an‍ attorney ‌at​ the law firm hired ⁣to represent​ it. Therefore,⁢ AFL ⁣argues, Hunter ‌acted⁤ as ⁣an ​agent of a ‌foreign​ company and is⁣ subject to ‌FARA registration as he ‌represented Burisma’s ‌interests.”

The ⁢lawsuit‌ claims that Garland did not⁣ enforce ⁣the proper⁣ registration⁤ requirements ⁣or⁢ provide a FARA ​waiver for⁤ Hunter Biden.

Furthermore,​ recent ‌email correspondence ​released ‍by the ‍National ‍Archives⁣ confirms ⁣Hunter’s ‌involvement in‌ a phone call between​ his father and ‍the former Ukrainian President.

While‌ others ‌have faced‍ legal consequences ⁣for failing ⁣to register​ as foreign agents, ‌Hunter⁢ Biden has‍ not received ⁣similar‍ treatment for ‌his business relationships ⁢with Chinese companies. The‌ Senate⁢ Committee on Homeland Security​ and⁤ Governmental ‍Affairs and ⁢the ‍Senate⁢ Committee on Finance have⁢ previously ‌released ‌reports ⁤outlining ‌the financial arrangements ⁢between the Biden⁣ family ⁣and their Chinese⁤ business ​partners.

AFL’s⁣ vice⁢ president and ⁣general counsel, Gene Hamilton, ⁢criticized Garland’s ⁤handling of the ⁣situation, ⁢stating, “The ​Attorney⁤ General​ has​ a non-discretionary ⁤duty​ to⁢ ensure that ​Hunter Biden⁢ registers as ⁢a foreign ‍agent under FARA and ‍provides the⁢ American​ people​ with transparency‌ into his ⁤activities ⁣on behalf ​of foreign principals.”

The ⁣DOJ ⁣has‌ faced⁣ additional scrutiny‍ as federal​ prosecutors⁢ and ‌the ⁤FBI allegedly ⁣interfered with ​an‌ IRS investigation ​into⁤ Hunter‌ Biden.⁣ This ⁤has ‍led⁣ to⁢ calls⁣ for⁣ an overhaul​ of⁢ the ​FBI ⁢to address its biased practices.

Garland continues ⁤to deny any special ⁤treatment given⁤ to‍ Hunter ⁣Biden by ‍the‍ DOJ.
