Messages show Hunter Biden proposed a meeting between his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and a Chinese business partner during a trip to a memorial service for the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The House Ways and Means Committee released the exchange last week as part of a trove of records obtained from IRS agents who became whistleblowers and raised concerns about how a federal investigation into Hunter Biden was being conducted. “Can you meet this evening early,” Hunter Biden messaged Lui Yadong, an executive at the Chinese Community Party-linked energy company known as CEFC, on the Chinese messaging app WeChat in mid-December 2017. “My father will be in New York also and he wants me to attend the Sandyhook [sic] memorial service with him and I would like him to meet you along with my uncle and then you and I can talk let me know if that works,” he added. Within an hour, Liu responded, “No Problem. Pls let me know where and when to meet.” As noted by the New York Post, it was not clear whether the meeting actually took place, but Joe Biden was photographed at an event marking the five-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting at the Plaza Hotel. Congressional investigators are examining Hunter Biden’s contacts, including in China, as part of a corruption-focused impeachment inquiry into now-President Joe Biden. The elder Biden has denied being financially involved in his son’s foreign business dealings. CEFC previously drew attention with the disclosure of a WhatsApp message in which Hunter Biden appeared to shake down another executive at the company, Henry Zhao, for money in the summer of 2017.

Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight,” Hunter wrote to Zhao. Less than ten days later, CEFC-associated accounts wired more than $5 million to accounts associated with Hunter Biden. In congressional testimony this year, Hunter Biden claimed that he messaged the wrong Zhao in the summer of 2017 because he was “drunk and probably high.” Another impeachment witness, former Biden family business partner Tony Bobulinski, claimed that Hunter Biden lied to lawmakers about his communications with CEFC. Hunter Biden separately faces two criminal indictments that arose out of the federal investigation into his conduct. The first son has pleaded not guilty to gun and tax charges. His gun-related trial is expected to begin next week in Delaware.

Four inmates have escaped from a jail in Amite, Louisiana, including three accused of breaking into a home and killing a father and shooting his 12-year-old daughter. Two of the escaped men have already been caught, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office reported. The sheriff’s office said that the four men escaped from the local jail on Sunday evening during their recreation time in the yard. The TPSO said the four men were able to escape through a section of the perimeter fence that was “found to be vulnerable and easily maneuvered in such a way that a small statured body could slide through.” The four escapees were identified as Omarion Hookfin, 19; Avery Guidry, 19; Jamarcus Cyprian, 20; and Tra’von Johnson, 21. Guidry, Hookfin, and Johnson were arrested in 2022 for their alleged roles in a homicide. WWL-TV reported at the time that the three allegedly broke into a home in Hammond, Louisiana, on September 13, 2022, and shot and killed Donte Perry. The group also allegedly shot Perry’s 12-year-old daughter at least 10 times, the outlet reported. The fourth escapee, Cyprian, was serving time for armed robbery and weapons charges, the sheriff’s office reported. On Monday, Chief Jimmy Travis of the TPSO told reporters on Monday that the jail didn’t know the men escaped until a family member of one of the escapees called Sunday afternoon saying Guidry and Johnson had appeared at their home asking for a place to stay. Johnson and Guidry were found hiding in a dumpster behind a Dollar General and taken into custody, after police received a tip from someone who saw the pair.

As the trial against former President Donald Trump nears its conclusion, a new and potentially devastating threat looms for the Democrats. A recent report from CNN has raised concerns about the possibility of Trump being acquitted in a separate trial in New York. This could mean a catastrophic blow to the Democrats' efforts to hold Trump accountable for his actions. According to the report, the New York trial, which is focused on allegations of financial crimes and fraud, is seen as a "worst-case scenario" for the Democrats. This is because the bar for conviction in a criminal case is much higher than in an impeachment trial. And with a Republican majority in the Senate, Trump's acquittal in the impeachment trial seems increasingly likely. No matter the outcome of Trump’s criminal trial in New York, Trump supporters will continue to stand by him. It’s the same delusion that Tim Scott clung to when he refused to admit that Trump had been booed at the Libertarian Convention over the weekend. It’s a cult. pic.twitter.com/AXDzvGWoto — Keith Boykin (@keithboykin) May 27, 2024 The potential acquittal in the New York trial has sparked outrage and panic among Democrats. They fear that it will send a message that Trump is above the law and can get away with any wrongdoing. It could also embolden him to continue his divisive and destructive actions, knowing that there will be no consequences. For the Democrats, the stakes couldn't be higher. This trial was seen as their last chance to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from running for office again. But with the possibility of an acquittal in both trials, their efforts could ultimately be in vain. It would also be a major setback for President Joe Biden's agenda, as a Trump acquittal would further solidify his position as the leader of the Republican Party. LAWFARE: While Trump and everyone working with him is gagged from publicly speaking about the witnesses in his trial, President Biden is allowed to personally visit the star witness against his son. What did he tell Hunter's ex-wife? Did he promise her anything? Threaten her? pic.twitter.com/I7qyGowev1 — @amuse (@amuse) May 27, 2024 The CNN report also sheds light on the potential consequences of a Trump acquittal. Legal experts warn that it could set a dangerous precedent, making it more difficult to prosecute future presidents for criminal offenses. It could also undermine the rule of law and erode public trust in the justice system. Moreover, a Trump acquittal could also have serious political implications. It could galvanize his base and give him a strong platform to launch a potential comeback in the 2024 presidential election. It could also divide the country even further and deepen the partisan divide. The Democrats are now faced with a difficult dilemma. They must continue to push for Trump's conviction in the impeachment trial while also preparing for the worst-case scenario of an acquittal in the New York trial. They are also under pressure to find new ways to hold Trump accountable and prevent him from regaining power. In conclusion, the potential acquittal of Trump in the New York trial is a nightmare scenario for the Democrats. It could not only derail their efforts to hold him accountable but also have far-reaching consequences for the country. As the trial draws to a close, all eyes are on the Senate to see if justice will prevail or if Trump will once again evade punishment for his actions. What are YOUR thoughts?

It takes quite a bit of confidence to audition for a massively popular show like The Voice. Even still, Asher HaVon was feeling quite unsure about his place on the show. This was even true during his audition with Set Fire to the Rain by Adele. This was the case, in part, because of a very surprising reason. Even though Asher is an amazing singer, he hadn’t sung in two years at that point. Between this, and Asher still getting used to living openly as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, he found himself in a tough spot. “Going into the show, I was broken. I was so broke, and I was lost,” Asher says. “I was confused about what I was supposed to do, not understanding my destiny, even though for such a long time, I’ve been told, ‘You’re such a great singer.’ But when it doesn’t happen, you think, ‘Maybe I’m not. Maybe I should do something else.'” Thankfully, Asher pushed past the voice in his head that told him he wasn’t enough. As you can imagine, he’s very grateful for that. This is true not only because Asher HaVon won The Voice but because of the bond he’s developed with his coach, Reba McEntire.
