The New American: Bragg Faces Lawsuits for Refusing to Release Records Related to Trump Case
Two lawsuits have been filed against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for failing to comply with Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests, calling on his office to release information about communications regarding the Trump indictment. Some suspect that Bragg coordinated with the Biden administration and Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) with respect to Trump's case. Bragg's actions have prompted U.S. House committees to investigate his conduct. One of the lawsuits by think tank The Heritage Foundation claims that Bragg garnered legal assistance from white-collar crime law firms. Trump was indicted by Bragg's office on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree in March, while Joe Biden's son, Hunter, struck a plea deal to avoid prison time for failing to pay federal income taxes and for possession of a firearm while using illegal substances. Some have criticized the plea deal as evidence of a two-tiered system, with Republicans calling for investigations into the Biden family's legal affairs.
Breitbart: Chris Christie: Trump 'Admitted to Obstruction of Justice' on Fox News
Chris Christie accuses Donald Trump of obstruction of justice during an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. Trump claimed he did not have time to respond to a grand jury subpoena because he needed to get his golf shirts and pants out of a box. Christie argues that Trump is his own worst enemy, and none of this would have happened if he had returned the documents. Christie also says that Trump admitted to obstruction of justice on air.
Daily Wire: Flashback: Joe Biden Said Hunter Did ‘Nothing Wrong’ Weeks Before Son’s Guilty Plea
Hunter Biden has pleaded guilty to two tax crimes and admitted to the facts of a gun charge in a plea deal negotiated with the Delaware US Attorney. Biden will plead guilty to misdemeanors for failing to pay about $100,000 in taxes for 2017 and for failing to pay a similar amount for 2018, but is not expected to face jail time and will enter a diversion program for the gun charge. President Joe Biden, who previously insisted his son “did nothing wrong,” and the White House counsel’s office have both released statements of support following the announcement. However, Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have argued that the plea deal reveals a two-tiered justice system, and vowed to continue investigations into the Biden family.

American Thinker: Mike Pence’s misbegotten campaign just got worse
Mike Pence's candidacy seems strange due to his pro-life stance and his homophobic views, which has made him a target for leftists. Pence's campaign cannot solely rely on the right; he must appeal to the left as well. To do so, he has been making attempts to connect with the LGBTQ+ community, such as protecting adult sex change operations, which has caused controversy. Many are concerned that Pence's true colors are showing, and voters may no longer approve of him.

Nawaz grilled Suarez on his statements that he would not rule out a pardon and called him out on the difference between Trump and other political figures, but Suarez argued that everyone has a constitutional right to trial by jury. In addition to immigration, climate change, and technology, Suarez's campaign focuses on healing the nation through pardoning if it could help unify the country.
Breitbart: CNN Poll: Joe Biden's Favorability Drops to Lowest of Presidency
Joe Biden’s approval rating has dropped eight points in six months, reaching the lowest of his presidency at 32 points, according to a CNN poll.

Last year, a probe revealed that nine Biden family members benefited from his foreign business dealings. Recent polling shows that the majority of voters believe Joe Biden took the $5m bribe.

Clark added that the investigation was ongoing, with a federal district court judge to determine any sentence. The attorney declined to comment on whether the contents of Biden's infamous laptop had anything to do with the probe, saying: "There’s nothing about the situation that’s been filed that has a thing to do with the laptop.”

The Epoch Times: Biden Admin Misses Deadline to Reveal Intelligence Findings on COVID-19 Origins
The Biden administration missed the June 18 deadline to declassify and release documents related to the origins of COVID-19 as required by the COVID-19 Origin Act passed unanimously in Congress with bipartisan support. The law aims to investigate the intelligence underlying the theory that COVID-19 resulted from a laboratory leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, specifically whether the laboratory was conducting research on behalf of the Chinese regime’s People’s Liberation Army or experimenting with coronaviruses. Senators Josh Hawley and Mike Braun sent Biden a reminder of the deadline, urging him to comply with the law as written and provide as much transparency to the American people as possible. The Biden administration did not respond to requests for comments from NTD News.
The Federalist Papers: Even CNN Can't Help But Admit the Biden Admin Just Got Steamrolled by China
During a recent diplomatic trip by Secretary of State Blinken to China, the Chinese President adopted "an almost scolding tone" towards Blinken suggesting that the US was the problem for their strained relationship, implying that China is now powerful enough to steamroll the US without repercussions. Although some media sources chose to paint the meeting as a success, CNN's Jim Sciutto acknowledged that Blinken’s trip made the Biden administration look weak and the world’s only superpower has become no more than a pushover, which does not bode well for foreign affairs. People are concerned that China is becoming increasingly belligerent and dominating the relationship between Washington and Beijing since Trump left the White House.
Breitbart: Wall Street Journal Claims China Plans to Build a Military Training Facility in Cuba
China and Cuba are reportedly in advanced negotiations to build a joint military training facility on Cuba's northern coast, raising concerns about Chinese troop presence just 100 miles off Florida's coast. The prospective deal has drawn U.S. attention, with the Biden administration reportedly reaching out to Cuban officials to forestall the agreement. The move follows reports of China's spy base on Cuban soil, which Chinese officials have denied. The deal also expands China's growing influence in Latin America, with experts warning of consequences such as long-term economic dependence and significant military and diplomatic influence in the continent.
Foreign Policy: An Unwritten Deal Is Exactly What Iran and America Need
The U.S. and Iran are reportedly close to an informal agreement to prevent further escalation and avoid a disastrous confrontation. The agreement would include commitments from Iran to refrain from enriching uranium beyond 60%, halt attacks by allied militias in Iraq and Syria on U.S. troops and contractors, and expand collaboration with the International Atomic Energy Agency. In return, the U.S. would refrain from tightening sanctions on Iran, stop seizing oil tankers with Iranian oil, and release Iranian money held in foreign banks for Tehran to spend on food and medicine. The informal agreement is a victory for both countries as they have had a hard time mustering the will to renew the agreement, but they also share an interest in avoiding a crisis that would erupt if it was declared dead.
