President Joe Biden, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and other top administration officials are being sued by two Republican-led states, alleging that they pressured and colluded with Big Tech social media companies to censor and suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop story, COVID-19 origins, and the security of voting by mail during the pandemic.

The complaint was filed in US District Court on Thursday by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. The Western District of Louisiana is a federal district court. The lawsuit alleges that the high-ranking government officials are collaborating with the large social media giants Meta, Twitter, and YouTube to increase censorship under the pretense of countering disinformation.

Lawsuit Against President Joe Biden Claims Adiministration Hinders Son's Investigation

Nina Jankowicz, the director of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) new Disinformation Governance Board, has come under fire from both Democratic and Republican politicians for curtailing free expression. Lawmakers have voiced particular alarm about Jankowicz's nomination, as he backed the notoriously discredited Christopher Steele dossier and retold the story that Hunter Biden's laptop was the result of a Russian disinformation effort.

The complaint claims that the federal government used constitutional rights to repress free expression in one of the most heinous assaults on free speech in American history. According to the lawsuit, the defendants used threats of adverse government action to compel, intimidate, and push social media platforms to restrict disfavored speakers and opinions.

The suit examines several specific examples of social media companies allegedly removing accurate information and infringing on First Amendment rights, including the Hunter Biden laptop story, the COVID-19 Wuhan lab-leak theory, COVID-19 mask efficacy, and messaging on the security of voting by mail, Fox News reported.

Because the Internal Revenue Service rejected a whistleblower complaint alleging that President Joe Biden owed at least $127,000 in taxes, President Biden is likely to dodge an audit that may show if he profited from his son Hunter Biden's offshore business transactions.

The IRS enables anyone to provide information about other taxpayers in exchange for a portion of the revenues, causing Chris Jacobs, a former Republican aide on Capitol Hill, to file complaints against Biden and his accountant, while saying he didn't want any financial compensation.

President Joe Biden is likely to run out of a three-year statute of limitations, according to tax law expert Bob Willens, who teaches at Columbia University's business school. This means Republican accusations that Biden owes up to $500,000 in taxes are unlikely to be settled.

Joe and Jill Biden routed more than $13 million through S corporations in 2017 and 2018 to avoid paying a 3.8 percent Medicare tax on the majority of their earnings by declaring a small portion of it as salary. Many rich people set up S businesses to decrease their tax payments, yet the IRS prosecutes just a few cases of underreporting taxable income.

The income is said to have come from book sales and speaking fees after Biden stepped down as vice president. Experts argue that income earned directly as a consequence of a person's labor should be liable to the Medicare tax, and ethics experts are urging Biden to identify the specific sources amid questions about the president's ties to his son Hunter Biden's international business dealings, according to the New York Post.

Hunter Biden Laptop Repairment Files Lawsuit Against Media

The Delaware repairman who exposed Hunter Biden's laptop has filed a slander action against House Intelligence Committee head Adam Schiff, CNN, Politico, and The Daily Beast claiming damages of at least $1 million. John Paul Mac Isaac, 45, a former shop owner, filed the case in Montgomery County, Maryland, on Tuesday, saying that the outlets erroneously claimed he was disseminating Russian misinformation, costing him his business.

Rep. Schiff defamed him in an interview two days after the Post - and then DailyMail.com - began publishing information from the laptop, he alleges in the lawsuit. Schiff claimed, without offering any proof, that 'the Kremlin' was orchestrating a smear campaign against then-presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter in an interview with Wolf Blitzer at the time.

In his case, Mac Isaac says that CNN deliberately broadcast a false and defamatory report, which caused him severe harm, including the closure of his laptop repair business, as per Daily Mail.
