Biden Impeachment Inquiry

ILLEGAL BIOLABS IN CALIFORNIA

[[link removed]]

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA LABS OWNED BY CHINESE NATIONALS

Americans should know that dangerous biological research doesn’t
just occur in Wuhan. It is happening in the United States.

We received 29 pages
[[link removed]]
of
records through the California Public Records Act confirming that
illicit labs owned by Chinese nationals housed biologicals in
hazardous and non-compliant conditions, multiple infectious agents,
and starving and dead mice. Our investigators also uncovered court
documents which detail the deplorable conditions at the lab (which
conducted “COVID” research), including photos of dead mice.

The documents were produced by the Fresno County Department of Public
Health (FCDPH) in response to a request for:

> Records and / or communications maintained by the Fresno County
> Public Health Department, including emails, email chains, email
> attachments, text messages, meeting minutes, interviews, voice
> recordings, video recordings, photographs, correspondence,
> statements, letters, memoranda, reports, briefings, affidavits,
> inspections, presentations, notes, or other form of record,
> regarding Prestige BioTech and Universal Meditech Inc.

Prestige Biotech reportedly
[[link removed]]
runs
Universal Meditech, Inc.

The records show that, on May 31, 2023, Dr. Rais Vohra
[[link removed]],
then-interim health officer for the Fresno County Department of Public
Health, had issued an order
[[link removed]]
to
Prestige to close its operations in Reedley, CA, and clean up
dangerous materials at the site:

> This Order is issued as a result of the City of Reedley’s attempts
> at gathering authorized representative contact information, repeated
> requests of complete lists of biologicals present, and an inspection
> pursuant to Health Officer Order dated April 21, 2023, which
> revealed biologicals in hazardous and non-compliant conditions, the
> presence of multiple infectious agents and pursuant to Title 17
> California Code of Regulations Section 2500, and multiple City of
> Reedley building and fire code violations, including but not limited
> to, failing refrigeration, and documented out of compliance
> electrical additions.

The records include an August 2023 PowerPoint presentation titled
“Healthy Fresno County, Better Together, Reedley Lab Update
[[link removed]
written by Fresno Co. Asst. Dir. Joe Prado
[[link removed]].
The presentation
includes a section titled “City of Fresno Chronology of Events,”
which reports:

Under the heading “Next Steps,” the presentation notes that
investigations by the health department, FDA, California Department of
Public Health, the health department’s Food and Drug Branch, and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency were ongoing.

Our investigators also uncovered court documents that include
an abatement warrant

dead mice from the “mouse room” at the Reedley facility:

> Dr. Hahn confirmed the mice were in server distress because of

In November 2022, we uncovered the Defense Department funding anthrax
laboratory
[[link removed]]
activities
in Ukraine. The records show over $11 million in funding for the
Ukraine biolabs program in 2019.

In June 2022, we uncovered records
[[link removed]]
from the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealing over two dozen cases
where research involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid (r/sNA)
molecules was conducted in America without proper approval and in
violation of NIH guidelines.

In April 2022, we received records and communications from the Federal
Select Agent Program (FSAP) that revealed safety lapses
[[link removed]]
and
violations at U.S. biosafety laboratories that conduct research on
dangerous agents and toxins.



BREAKING: IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY INTO PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy initiated an impeachment inquiry into
President Joe Biden this week – a necessary step for
accountability and justice. The American people have a right to know
whether their president is a crook.

It is well past time for the House to use its full constitutional
authority to investigate the catalog of credible allegations of
corruption that crosses international borders – from Ukraine to
Russia and China.

These Biden corruption issues have created a national security crisis,
led to a border invasion, thoroughly corrupted the Justice Department
and other federal agencies, and have resulted in wildly abusive
efforts to jail former President Trump and other innocents.

This new impeachment inquiry is necessary but not sufficient.
Impeachment must be accompanied with a serious effort to defund abuse
by Biden’s agencies, and Congress must add oversight to curtail
weaponized government.

In the meantime, Judicial Watch will continue its independent
investigations and lawsuits into the Biden corruption issues.

We have at least 10 federal lawsuits focused on Biden family
corruption.

We are pursuing a lawsuit
[[link removed]]
for
information regarding the gun owned by Hunter Biden that reportedly
was thrown in a trash can behind a Delaware grocery store.

In June 2023, we sued
[[link removed]]
the CIA
for all communications of the spy agency’s Prepublication
Classification Review Board (PCRB) regarding an October 19, 2020,
email request to review and “clear” a letter signed by 51 former
intelligence community officials characterizing the Hunter Biden
laptop story as having “all the earmarks of a Russian disinformation
campaign.”

In July, we sued the DOJ for records from the Office of the Attorney
General and Office of the Deputy Attorney General regarding the
Internal Revenue Service investigation of Hunter Biden.

In June 2023, we filed a lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against the
Department of Justice for a copy of the FBI FD-1023 form that
describes “an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President
Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for
policy decisions.” Judicial Watch also asked for communications
about the FD-1023.

In May 2023, we filed a FOIA lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against
the National Archives for Biden family records and communications
regarding travel and finance transactions, as well as communications
between the Bidens and several known business associates.

On October 14, 2022, we sued
[[link removed]]
the DOJ
for all records in the possession of FBI Supervisory Intelligence
Analyst Brian Auten regarding an August 6, 2020, briefing provided to
members of the U.S. Senate. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Chuck Grassley
(R-IA) raised concerns that the briefing was intended to undermine the
senators’ investigation of Hunter Biden.

We filed a lawsuit against the U.S. State Department on April 20,
2022, for messages sent through the SMART
[[link removed]]
(State
Messaging and Archive Retrieval Toolkit) system that mention Hunter
Biden.

In December 2020, State Department records
[[link removed]]
obtained
through our FOIA lawsuit showed that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine
Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch had specifically warned in 2017 about
corruption allegations against Burisma Holdings.

And in October 2020, we forced the release of State
Department records
[[link removed]]
that
included a briefing checklist of a February 22, 2019, meeting in Kyiv
between then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and Sally
Painter, co-founder and chief operating officer of Blue Star
Strategies, a Democratic lobbying firm which was hired by Burisma
Holdings to combat corruption allegations. At the time of the meeting,
Hunter Biden was serving on the board of directors for Burisma
Holdings.



TO PRIORITIZE EQUITY, DHS ANTI-TERRORISM FUNDS GO TO UNDERSERVED
GROUPS



Give the Biden bureaucrats your tax money, and they are likely
to transfer it to their favorite special interest groups, rather
than for the original purpose, as our _Corruption

DHS LOSES TRACK OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IT RELEASES IN U.S., MANY GIVE
FAKE ADDRESS

They’re not even trying any more to secure our southern
border. Our _Corruption Chronicles_ blog details
[[link removed]]
the
lack of effort in tracking illegals.

> Not only has illegal immigration exploded under the Biden
> administration, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) fails to
> track migrants it is supposed to monitor after releasing them in the
> U.S. Incredibly, the agency created after 9/11 to prevent another
> terrorist attack is not making much of an effort to find the missing
> foreigners who in thousands of cases were freed despite not
> providing the agency with a valid domestic address or after
> furnishing a bogus location including car dealerships, bus stations,
> restaurants or churches.
>
> Between March 2021 and August 2022, DHS lost track of more than
> 177,000 migrants inside the country, according to a scathing report
>
[[link removed]]
issued
> recently by the DHS Office of Inspector General. The watchdog found
> that 80% of addresses provided to the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) by
> migrants were recorded at least two times and 54,000 were simply
> left blank. More than 780 addresses were used over 20 times and
> seven were recorded by federal officials over 500 times, apparently
> without raising any red flags. Some of the addresses were charities
> or federal government agencies. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
> (ICE) also got trashed in the report for failing to always validate
> migrant addresses prior to releasing them into communities
> throughout the United States.
>
> In all, DHS released more than a million migrant individuals and
> families into the U.S. during the recent 18-month period examined in
> the probe. Investigators stress in the report that it is critical to
> properly track the individuals. “ICE must be able to locate
> migrants to enforce immigration laws, including to arrest or remove
> individuals who are considered potential threats to national
> security,” the IG writes in the report, which has several
> redactions. “The notable percentage of missing, invalid for
> delivery, or duplicate addresses on file means DHS may not be able
> to locate migrants following their release into the United
> States,” the report continues.“As the Department continues to
> apprehend and release tens of thousands of migrants each month,
> valid post-release addresses are essential.”
>
> DHS releases more than 60,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S. every
> month, according to the agency watchdog, and the figure will
> probably grow. “In addition to migrants not providing U.S. release
> addresses, DHS faced several challenges hindering its ability to

> found. “USBP did not accurately and effectively capture valid
> addresses, in part due to the large number of migrants apprehended,
> as well as its limited coordination with ICE and its limited
> authority to administer compliance with address requirements.” The
> document further explains that “ICE also did not have adequate
> resources to validate and analyze migrants’ post-release
> addresses.” As an example, the IG offers that ICE deportation
> officers at one field office were responsible for 35,000 migrant
> cases post-release, averaging to about three minutes of staff time
> per case annually.
>
> It has been widely reported that when it comes to the famously

> fulfilling its mission. What many Americans may not know is that, in
> the last few years, the agency has made the problem even worse by
> dispersing hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants throughout
> the U.S. under a Biden administration program that issues migrants a

[[link removed]
