Rotten: Hunter Biden’s lawyers are using the same dubious tactics to pull their case back together after it fell apart two weeks ago. Now, they’re trying to seal information relevant to the case, especially the damning testimony of two IRS whistleblowers included in Heritage’s amicus brief.

• Our lawyer called Biden’s request to seal the brief “absurd and frivolous.”
• Hunter Biden’s lawyers “want our brief taken down for using their testimony, but we will not sit back and let this attack on the whistleblowers proceed,” said Mike Howell, director of Heritage’s Oversight Project.

Power to Truth: The Daily Signal’s Fred Lucas was among the reporters slated to lose his White House press credentials, although he was given a 10-day extension “to submit the required materials.”

• The new rules on press access give Biden’s press team greater power to expel journalists who don’t “act in a professional manner.”

We the People: This fall, the Supreme Court will have several chances to rein in the administrative state and restore justice to the courtroom.

• One of the cases, SEC v. Jarkesy, could be “one of the most consequential cases of the upcoming term,” explain Heritage legal fellow Jack Fitzhenry and Young Leaders Program member Nick Clifford.
