The conservative Heritage Foundation is seeking to force the U.S. Department of Justice and Special Counsel David Weiss to divulge records as to whether they'd weighed investigating or charging President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, with sex trafficking charges.
The Heritage Foundation initially submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in July, seeking DOJ records and communications indicating whether the DOJ or Mr. Weiss were considering charging the president’s son with violations of the Mann Act, a 1910 federal law that prohibits transporting individuals across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. On Monday, the Heritage Foundation filed a lawsuit in federal court in Delaware, accusing the DOJ and Mr. Weiss of failing to produce the records the conservative think tank had requested.
