--:-- Georgia Howe: I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire editor-in-chief John Bickley. It's Wednesday, May 10th, and this is your Morning Wire afternoon update.
--:-- John Bickley: In a press conference today, Republican lawmakers laid out detailed evidence showing that at least nine members of President Joe Biden's family took in millions of dollars from foreign sources. This allegedly began during the Obama administration while Biden was vice president.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The lawmakers, who are all members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, revealed bank records showing payments as high as $10 million from foreign companies to Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
--:-- John Bickley: South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace says the money was moved through a series of shell companies she believes was designed to cover the Biden family's tracks. This could be the most corrupt scheme in American politics where a sitting vice president, where we saw members of his family, nine members so far, there may be more that were enriched from countries all over the world.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Committee Chairman James Comer released a memo prior to the news conference revealing that the Biden family allegedly set up more than 20 companies to take in foreign money possibly in exchange for influencing policy. The Bidens have received millions of dollars from China. It is inconceivable that the president did not know it. The White House refuses to correct the president's statements, showing the president is now using the federal government to run interference for his families and his own role in these schemes.
--:-- John Bickley: The first 550 of an expected 1,500 active duty U.S. troops arrived at the southern border on Tuesday. The Biden administration is beefing up border security ahead of an expected surge when Title 42 is repealed late Thursday.

--:-- Joel Needler: 35-year-old Daniel Perry shot and killed 28-year-old Garrett Foster at an Austin, Texas BLM rally in 2020 in what he claims was self-defense. Prosecutors said Perry initiated the incident when he drove into a crowd gathered at the protest. Foster, who was carrying an AK-47, then approached Perry's car while motioning for him to roll down his window. Perry then shot Foster with a handgun. Perry told police that he believed Foster was going to aim the firearm at him.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Texas Governor Greg Abbott has submitted a request to pardon Perry to the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Food prices were flat, but energy prices rose 0.6%. And housing prices, which are one of the largest contributors to the overall month-to-month increase, rose 0.4%.

--:-- Amanda Prestigiacomo: The task force was created in 2020 in the wake of the George Floyd riots and on Monday released a preliminary report advocating billions of dollars in wealth redistribution to make up for the sins of slavery. Newsom told Fox News that the group's independent findings and recommendations are a milestone in the bipartisan effort to advance justice and promote healing. He also said that dealing with that legacy of slavery is about, quote, much more than cash payments. And noted that many of the recommendations put forward by the task force are critical action items already being addressed.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Newsom pledged to advance what he called systemic changes that ensure an inclusive and equitable future for all Californians.
