The Collapse of Hunter Biden’s Sweetheart Plea Deal
- In federal court Wednesday in Delaware, Hunter Biden’s anticipated sweetheart plea deal collapsed.
- It has been reported that the deal collapsed when the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that it is still investigating whether Biden violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which is designed to root out potential national security threats by identifying those who are acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of foreign governments, political parties, or parent companies of U.S. subsidiaries, among other foreign organizations, when attempting to influence public policy and laws in the United States.
- The Heritage Foundation has maintained a strong position condemning the weaponization of government that has been on display throughout Hunter Biden’s case.
- Heritage’s Oversight Project also filed an amicus brief in Delaware asking the judge not to accept the Biden plea deal.

Another Nail in the Coffin of Legalized Racial Discrimination
- A district court in Tennessee has just pounded another nail into the coffin of legalized racial discrimination, upholding basic concepts of fairness and equal protection.
- In Ultima Services Corp. v. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Federal Judge Clifton Corker ruled in favor of a small business that was denied participation in contracts with the department and the Small Business Administration because the owner, Celeste Bennett, a White woman, was not a member of one of the favored racial minority groups that the USDA and the SBA have decided should receive preferential treatment. In other words, these federal agencies have been engaging in government-approved racial discrimination.
- There is a long, disgraceful, and dishonorable fall from doing the work needed to uphold our Constitution and its requirement of equal protection for all citizens, to enforce our laws banning racial discrimination, and to ensure a just and fair society.
