Just when you thought the Justice Department’s handling of the Hunter Biden case couldn’t appear more corrupt, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday that he was appointing Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss as “special counsel” in the case. Not only is Weiss the same controversial federal prosecutor who has botched the investigation of President…
A federal court has stopped yet another attempt by the U.S. Department of Education to cancel student loans—for now.

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday named David Weiss—the same prosecutor who made a court-rejected plea agreement with first son Hunter Biden—as the special counsel in the tax probe.

The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court on July 27 to restore the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “Frame or Receiver” rule, which expands the definition of firearm…
While President Joe Biden enjoys his beautiful gas-guzzling 1967 Corvette Stingray, he wants to dictate what kind of car you get to own. The Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed de facto electric vehicle mandate would force auto manufacturers to make nearly 70% of their new automobiles electric by 2032. Now, Biden’s Department of Transportation is following…
Did you think what you saw on your Facebook feed was determined by your interests and your friends? Think again. New documents uncovered by Rep.

A U.S. vice president, a Russian oligarch’s widow, and a Greek Orthodox priest walk into a cafe.

Three leading House Republican committee chairs have joined forces to challenge the Department of Justice’s handling of Hunter Biden’s plea deal after the unusual court proceedings last month and new evidence showing the DOJ may have interfered with the investigation for political reasons. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; House Oversight and Accountability Committee…
Despite the Hunter Biden plea deal falling apart in federal court last week, the case will almost certainly not go to trial, legal experts say.

President Joe Biden’s administration will no longer move the U.S. Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama, despite the government’s own analysis showing the move made sense.

For months, Democrats have…
A funny thing happened in the courtroom of U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika last week.

Plea agreements are generally straightforward. The…

The Florida Republican has praise for…
