Is the Department of Justice preventing a FOIA request to protect President Biden? Trace the facts of their handling of hundreds of pages of documents relating to Hunter Biden’s work in China, Russia, and Ukraine.

From Daily Mail. The Department of Justice is trying to prevent disclosure of 400 pages of sensitive documents on Hunter and Jim Biden’s dealings with China, Russia and Ukraine – by pretending they don’t exist.

Who is praying on the wall?

Colorado lawyer Kevin Evans sued the department in March after it failed to comply with his request for records on the Bidens’ dealings under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Evans, a FOIA expert, asked for documents pertaining to ‘any relationship, communication, gift(s), and/or remuneration in any form’ between the president’s son Hunter or brother Jim, and China, Russia or Ukraine.

He said government lawyers first admitted in court to having at least 400 pages of ‘potentially relevant’ documents – but are now trying to get away with saying they can ‘neither confirm nor deny’ the existence of any records that match his request.

A Justice Department prosecutor, David Weiss, is currently considering a criminal case against Hunter with potential allegations of money laundering, illegal foreign lobbying and tax crimes in relation to the First Son’s overseas business dealings.

The 400 pages are not the only cache of Biden records being sought from the government.

The National Archives and Records Administration is preparing to release hundreds of Obama White House internal documents containing information about Hunter’s relationship with controversial Ukrainian gas company Burisma, Business Insider reported this month. …

Biden’s administration is able to veto the release, but must decide by February whether to invoke executive privilege to keep them hidden until 2029.

The records date back to 2014 and include 69 images and 260 email messages mentioning Burisma.

Evans’ case has its next hearing in January.

The Greenwood Village, Colorado-based lawyer said he filed his FOIA request in November 2020 after reading about the Bidens’ overseas business dealings, and the Justice Department strung him along for almost two years before he eventually sued them. …

‘Then towards the end of last year they said, ”well we have these 400 pages of potentially responsive documents, we need to review them.” …

Evans said the government dithered for a few more months, then made a confusing new argument: that they could ‘neither confirm nor deny’ the existence of any records.

Government agencies have a legal precedent to make such claims to avoid disclosures that could harm national security. …
