Chris Christie presidential campaign, 2024


https://ballotpedia.org/Chris_Christie_presidential_campaign,_2024

I’m running for President of the United States because the truth still matters. We need leaders that are willing to stand up and tell it like it is.

Chris Christie (R) was the governor of New Jersey from 2010 to 2018. He officially filed to run for president on June 6, 2023.[3]

Christie has centered his campaign around criticism of former President Donald Trump (R). Speaking of Trump during an interview with Fox News, Christie said, "He's a failed leader. We gave him a Republican House, a Republican Senate, and he failed ... he failed us by losing the House, by losing the Senate, and by turning over the White House to Joe Biden."[4] During his campaign launch, Christie said, "The reason I’m going after Trump is twofold. One, he deserves it. And two, it’s the way to win."[5]

Christie ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. He suspended his campaign on February 10, 2016, after receiving 1.8% of the vote in the Iowa caucuses and receiving 7.4% of the vote in the New Hampshire primary.

DOJ, FBI, IRS, Treasury, Secret Service 'refuse to cooperate'

The congressional investigation into evidence that the Biden family may have been involved in corrupt dealings and illegal activities is being obstructed – by the federal government.

Those agencies that refuse to cooperate include the DOJ, FBI, IRS, Treasury and Secret Service, according to House Oversight Committee chief James Comer, R-Ky.,

In a report in Just the News, he said, "We're being obstructed every step of the way. We're being obstructed by the Biden attorneys. We're being obstructed by the Democrats in Congress. But more concerning than anything, we're being obstructed by our federal government – by the Department of Justice, by the FBI, by the IRS, by the Treasury cabinet, and by the Secret Service."

He said, "All these government agencies have knowledge of potential corruption by Joe Biden, yet they refuse to cooperate with us or when they do, they give us a document that's so heavily redacted, it's almost a joke."

The evidence available to date reveals that the Biden clan, likely including Joe Biden, probably engaged in a multi-million dollar pay-to-play business where the product being sold was access to Joe Biden, as vice president and now as president.

Evidence documents how tens of millions of dollars were paid by foreign interests to the family for no other apparent service.

Congress now even is investigating what policy decisions may have been impacted by the payments.

Just the News confirmed congressional investigators have revealed that shell companies linked to the Bidens took in at least $20 million from foreigners, including big payments from controversial oligarchs who afterwards had private dinners with Joe Biden as vice president.

The business deals for the Bidens included income from Russia, China, Ukraine, and Romania.

"This is not normal behavior, for a family to receive millions of dollars from our enemies around the world," Comer stated.

Comer said that the biggest problem is having the family of a sitting vice president or president cutting deals with China.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.

Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.

The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”

McConnell Says Impeachment 'Not Good for Country' as GOP Lawmakers Mixed on Biden Impeachment

As Republicans in the House of Representatives are increasingly discussing launching impeachment proceedings against President Joe Biden and other members of his administration, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is signaling apprehension.

Mr. McConnell recently said the two Democrat-led impeachments of President Donald Trump in 2020 and 2021, respectively, had incentivized Republicans to follow similar measures against the Democrat currently occupying the Oval Office, but that such actions are ultimately not good for the country.

"I said two years ago, when we had not one but two impeachments, that once we go down this path it incentivizes the other side to do the same thing,” Mr. McConnell said in comments reported by the New York Times on Tuesday.

The Republican Senate leader said "impeachment ought to be rare, rather than common," but added, "I'm not surprised that having been treated the way they were, House Republicans last Congress began to open up the possibility of doing it again. And I think this is not good for the country to have repeated impeachment problems."

Mr. McConnell did not provide further comment when asked by NTD News whether he believes Republicans have a viable impeachment case against President Biden, based on the standards shown in the two prior impeachments of President Trump. Mr. McConnell voted against impeaching President Trump in both cases.

NTD News reached out to Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) about his thoughts on the standards for impeachment, having favored the two impeachments against President Trump. Mr. Schumer's office did not respond by the time this article was published.

Republicans Offer Mixed Views on Impeachments

After Republicans gained control of the House in January, members of the majority side began submitting articles of impeachment against Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, alleging he lied under oath about having operational control over the U.S. southern border.

Last month, amid accusations the U.S. Department of Justice had impeded criminal investigations into President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said the Republican majority could impeach Attorney General Merrick Garland, telling Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, "It sure looks like we’re moving in that direction at a pretty quick pace."

In June, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) introduced a resolution to begin impeachment proceedings against President Biden, but the move divided the Republican House majority. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy indicated his primary concern with Ms. Boebert's resolution was one of timing, as Republicans continue to investigate allegations that President Biden engaged in influence peddling with his family. Rather than putting Ms. Boebert's resolution to a direct vote, House Republicans sidestepped the issue by sending the resolution to the House Judiciary and Homeland Security Committees for further evaluation.

While Mr. McConnell has now spoken publicly about his concerns with House Republican impeachment efforts, Mr. McCarthy has signaled an impeachment inquiry against President Biden may still be in the cards. In a July 24 interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Mr. McCarthy praised Republican investigative efforts into the Biden family, stating, "We would know none of this if Republicans had not taken the majority."

"This is rising to the level of impeachment inquiry, which provides Congress with the strongest power to obtain the knowledge and information needed for oversight," Mr. McCarthy added.

Reacting directly to Mr. McConnell's comment about impeachment on Tuesday night, Rep. Scott Fitzgerald (R-Wis.) told Fox Business, "Well, I don't think it's good for the country, of course, and there's a lot of other things we should be working on, but we have a responsibility per the Constitution of oversight."

Mr. Fitzgeral said he understood Mr. McConnell's opposition to impeachment but said not pursuing an impeachment inquiry would be "shirking our responsibility" of congressional oversight.

In an interview with NBC News, Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), a swing-district Republican, signaled some reservations with the evidence Republicans have against President Biden so far. “I don’t think it’s there at the moment, but these committees are doing their job.”

Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-N.Y.), another swing-district Republican, told NBC News he felt the investigations thus far have raised "serious questions of impropriety" and welcomed continued investigations. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), who represents a Democrat-leaning district, said he feels the process of impeachment is becoming a vote of no confidence, adding, "I don’t want to see our country go down that path."

Potential Avenue for Impeachment

In a new appearance on Fox News on Monday night, Mr. McCarthy again said House Republican investigations are nearing the threshold for an impeachment inquiry and signaled Republicans may seek the president's bank statements next.

Last week, Hunter Biden's former business partner Devon Archer testified that while serving as vice president, Joe Biden joined business calls that his son was on, and appeared at in-person dinner meetings with Hunter Biden's foreign business partners.

On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee released bank records, detailing $20 million in foreign payments to Hunter Biden and his business partners. One apparent wire payment to Hunter Biden came from Kazakhstani businessman Kenes Rakishev on April 22, 2014. Mr. Archer testified that Mr. Rakishev attended a dinner at the Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C., in the spring of 2014 and that Joe Biden was present for the interaction.

The House Oversight Committee disclosed another $3.5 million transfer from Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina to Hunter Biden and Mr. Archer in February 2014. Mr. Archer testified that Ms. Baturina was also present at the meeting at the same Cafe Milano just weeks later, where Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and Mr. Rakishev were in attendance.

During his interviews with Mr. Archer, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) contended that Hunter Biden sold his business partners an "illusion of access" to his father and that the elder Biden's interactions with his son's business partners were always casual and never touched on business directly.

President Biden's own bank records could indicate whether or not he also had financial ties with Hunter Biden's business partners. In his Fox News appearance on Monday, Mr. McCarthy said President Biden should "give us his bank statements" to clear up any doubts about his connection with his son's business transactions.

“I think there’s enough proof out there that this Biden family needs to come forward and show there wasn’t a pay-to-play,” Mr. McCarthy added.

White House spokesman Ian Sams has pushed back on Mr. McCarthy's comments this week, accusing the House speaker of lying.

"Instead of pursuing this shameless and baseless impeachment stunt, House Republicans and Speaker McCarthy should join the president to work on continuing to bring down inflation and lower costs, create jobs, and grow the economy," Mr. Sams said in a widely circulated press statement. "That is, after all, what the American people sent their leaders to Washington to do."

President Joe Biden says he plans to deliver the eulogy at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, who remains under hospice care at his home in South Georgia

President Joe Biden says he plans to deliver the eulogy at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, who remains under hospice care at his home in south Georgia.

Biden told donors at a California fundraiser Monday evening about his “recent” visit to see the 39th president, whom he has known since he was a young Delaware senator supporting Carter's 1976 presidential campaign.

“He asked me to do his eulogy,” Biden said, before stopping himself from saying more. “Excuse me, I shouldn't say that.”

Carter, who at 98 is the longest-lived U.S. president, announced Feb. 18 that he would spend his remaining days at home receiving end-of-life care, forgoing further medical intervention after a series of short hospital stays. The Carter Center in Atlanta and the former president's family members have not disclosed details of his condition, though Biden alluded to Carter's 2015 cancer diagnosis and subsequent recovery.

“I spent time with Jimmy Carter and it’s finally caught up with him, but they found a way to keep him going for a lot longer than they anticipated because they found a breakthrough,” Biden said in Rancho Sante Fe, California.

Biden, 80, and first lady Jill Biden visited Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, who is now 95, at their home in Plains, Georgia, a few months after Biden took office in 2021. Biden was the first U.S. senator to endorse Carter's 1976 presidential bid, breaking from the Washington establishment that Carter — then a former one-time Georgia governor — shocked by winning the Democratic nomination.

Biden's presidency represents a turnabout, of sorts, for Carter's political standing. He served just one term and lost in a landslide to Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980, prompting top Democrats to keep their distance, at least publicly, for decades after he left the White House.

Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama did not have close relationships with Carter. And the longshot presidential candidates who sometimes ventured to Plains over the years typically did so privately.

But as the Carters' global humanitarian work and advocacy of democracy via The Carter Center garnered new respect, Democratic politicians began publicly circulating back to South Georgia ahead of the 2020 election cycle. And with Biden's election, Carter again found a genuine friend and ally in the Oval Office.

Some Carter family members have confirmed that the former president will have a state funeral in Washington, D.C., along with a private funeral and burial in Plains. Former and sitting presidents often speak at the state funerals of their predecessors, sometimes even crossing the political aisle. Clinton spoke at Republican Richard Nixon's funeral in 1994. Carter eulogized Republican Gerald Ford, the man he defeated to win the presidency, in 2007. The two men had become close friends after their presidencies and had agreed that the surviving president would pay tribute at the other's funeral. When George H.W. Bush died in 2018, fellow Republican Donald Trump attended as sitting president but the only former president to speak at Washington National Cathedral was the elder Bush's son, George W. Bush.

Merrick Garland

Early life and education

After high school, Garland studied social studies at Harvard University.[3][14][15] He initially wanted to become a physician, but soon decided to become a lawyer instead.[11] He allied himself with his future boss, Jamie Gorelick, when he was elected the only freshman member of a campus-wide committee on which Gorelick also served.[16] During his college summers Garland volunteered as a speechwriter to Congressman Abner J. Mikva.[16] After President Jimmy Carter appointed Mikva to the D.C. Circuit, Mikva would rely on Garland when hiring law clerks.[17] At Harvard, Garland wrote news articles and theater reviews for the Harvard Crimson, and worked as a Quincy House tutor.[18][19] Garland wrote his 235-page honors thesis on industrial mergers in Britain in the 1960s.[16][20] Garland graduated from Harvard in 1974 with an A.B., summa cum laude, and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
