Congress wants any unredacted records in which President Biden used a pseudonym during his vice presidency.

A Republican U.S. lawmaker heading a congressional probe into Hunter Biden’s business dealings asked the National Archives on Thursday for emails between President Joe Biden and his 53-year-old son.

House of Representatives Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer called on the official depository of U.S. records to produce unredacted emails and other documents from 2015 and 2016, when the elder Biden was vice president and his son sat on the board of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

Congress wants any unredacted records in which President Biden used a pseudonym during his vice presidency.

House Republicans are mulling a possible impeachment inquiry against the elder Biden, based partly on allegations that the president, his son and other family members have engaged in financial misconduct, allegations the White House strongly denies.

This comes as the President’s son, Hunter Biden continues with his own legal woes.

Hunter’s legal team said in a court filing that federal prosecutors reneged on a plea deal reached by both parties in June, and an agreement reached on a felony gun charge against the president’s son still stands.

The filing came after prosecutors moved to drop the plea deal in Delaware completely.

Prosecutors said that Biden may be headed for a criminal trial after plea negotiations broke down in court last month.

Australia bans social media for children under 16, marking a historic step in youth online safety regulations.

Australia has made history, becoming the first country to ban social media access for children under 16. From midnight, platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram will be blocked for young users across the nation. The move marks one of the strongest regulatory actions ever taken on youth online safety.

The new law requires ten major digital platforms to comply or face fines of up to A$49.5 million. The decision comes amid growing global concerns about the impact of social media on children’s mental health, with other countries watching closely as they consider similar measures.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the ban is designed to support young Australians and reduce harmful pressures created by constant digital engagement. While platforms are preparing to use age-inference technology to comply, critics warn the ban could isolate vulnerable teens.
