IRS Whistleblowers Allegations of DOJ Interference in Hunter Biden Investigation
Two whistleblowers from the IRS testified before the House Oversight Committee, alleging that Department of Justice (DOJ) officials broke from standard practice and interfered in the investigation of Hunter Biden's tax affairs. The whistleblowers claimed that the DOJ routinely favored the Biden family and limited the investigators' efforts. They highlighted instances where investigators were prevented from interviewing any Biden family members and instructed not to ask specific questions during interviews. The credibility of the whistleblowers was challenged by Democrats during the hearing, but they maintained their professionalism and substantiated their allegations with documented evidence.
The Bizarre Disappearance of Carly Russell: Kidnapping, Hoax, or Mental Health Event?
The strange case of Carly Russell, a 25-year-old nursing student from Alabama who went missing for 48 hours before returning home, has sparked debate over whether it was a kidnapping, hoax, or mental health event. Carly called 911 to report seeing a toddler walking on the side of the road, but no child was found and strange behavior was observed in Carly's actions and internet searches leading up to her disappearance. Surveillance footage showed Carly driving slowly on the shoulder of the road, though no child or unusual activity was seen. Authorities provided details of Carly's statements, where she claimed to have been abducted by a man and forced into a car and then a home where photos were taken. The police have not confirmed if a crime occurred.
Biden Administration's Efforts to Sidestep Supreme Court Ruling on Student Loan Forgiveness
After the Supreme Court blocked the Biden administration's plan to forgive student loan debt, the White House is now exploring workarounds to deliver relief to borrowers. The administration is pursuing a long-term plan to forgive student loans through negotiated rulemaking, despite the potential for delays or changes with a new administration. They have also implemented the SAVE plan, which aims to cut monthly payments to $0 for millions of low-income borrowers and protect borrowers from negative consequences when loan payment pauses end. The administration has already forgiven over $116 billion in student loans, with recent relief announced for $39 billion. Critics argue that this forgiveness is unfair to those who have paid off their loans and will burden taxpayers.
Two IRS agents who investigated Hunter Biden’s tax affairs testify before the House Oversight Committee, new details come to light in the bizarre case of a 25-year-old nursing student who disappeared for 48 hours in Alabama, and the Biden Administration plans to sidestep the Supreme Court ruling that stopped their student loan forgiveness effort.
