(Dec. 27, 2024) — On Friday’s “Hannity” guest-hosted by Tammy Bruce, America First Legal (AFL) founder Stephen Miller related how his organization obtained from the National Archives (NARA) photographs of Joe Biden with his son Hunter’s Chinese business partners in 2013 after suing the agency for non-disclosure.
According to the House Oversight Committee chaired by James Comer (R-KY1), the younger Biden snagged millions of dollars from overseas interactions facilitated by the elder Biden’s then-position as vice president of the United States.
Miller was clearly outraged at the fact Joe Biden has always denied any knowledge of his son’s business activities, including during the 2020 presidential campaign.
The photos, which trended on “X” Friday, reveal Joe Biden meeting with Hunter’s Chinese associates during the time he launched a Chinese company, BHR Partners, and with Communist Chinese Party leader Xi Jinping.
Comer has reported the entire Biden family benefited from the overseas dealings to include Joe’s brother James and several Biden grandchildren who received large deposits into their personal accounts with or without their knowledge.
Earlier this month, the elder Biden pardoned Hunter for any crimes he might have committed over a nearly 11-year period, newly termed a “preemptive” pardon.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden stalled the Archives’s release of the photos until “after the election,” Bruce reported, quoting from several news reports.
“A tranche of White House records that likely includes material related to disgraced first son Hunter Biden won’t be released until one day after this year’s presidential election,” the New York Post wrote days before the 2024 election. “That’s what the Justice Department told America First Legal, which sued for records from the National Archives and Records Administration back in 2022.”
“The photographs were initially scheduled for release on October 23, 2024, under the Presidential Records Act. However, an extension invoked by legal representatives postponed their availability,” Legal Newsline reported December 23.
On Friday the Post reported:
The troubled now-54-year-old first son held a 10% stake in BHR through at least part of his dad’s presidency and says he relinquished control to his “sugar brother” Kevin Morris, who has loaned Hunter a sum believed to top $6.5 million since meeting him at a 2019 Biden campaign fundraiser.
The photos were released to the America First Legal Foundation in response to a transparency lawsuit.
“AFL obtained the photos through our lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which was filed on September 8, 2022,” the group led by President-elect Donald Trump’s adviser Stephen Miller wrote on X.
“NARA had planned to release these photographs on October 23, 2024 — thirteen days before Election Day. Lawyers and representatives for President Biden and President Obama delayed NARA’s release of these photos — as they did with other critical records — until after Election Day.”
“The National Archives is corrupt; the DOJ is corrupt…” Miller told Bruce, promising to “reform the federal government” once the second Trump administration launches on January 20.
As a 2024 Trump campaign adviser, Miller had previewed Trump’s plans to enforce current immigration law to restrict the flow of illegal aliens which increased dramatically during the Biden years.
Miller has been tapped by Trump to again serve as a senior adviser once he returns to the White House.
Miller further denounced former FBI Director James Comey and “Russiagate,” referring to the FBI’s deceptive pursuit of a “collusion” allegation between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Bruce acknowledged a “Deep State” which has “allowed” corruption to flourish among the nation’s top agency personnel.
After Miller’s interview ended, Bruce referenced two news stories reporting that Joe Biden treated the Chinese with undue deference over his presidential term, including when China flew a “spy balloon” over the entire continental U.S. the Biden regime did not attempt to disturb until it was off the coast of South Carolina.
As far as I am concerned, the article should have started with the ending. The administrative state is a tangled knot composed of three strings: Corruption, oppressive rule making, and Chinese influence. These three strings do also twist around each other, and that is the problem. IMHO, of the three, the Chinese string is by far the worst. The sheer number of captured elites and Chinese operatives in the administrative state remains to be determined. I am confident that when the full extent of “Chinese corruption” is found, we will be breathless with shock. We will say, ‘I had no idea.” Look for a whole bunch of mysterious deaths and curious suicides.
Mr. Miller’s complaint is spot on, but it is also superficial. Stay tuned.
