FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DALLAS, TX — In what appears to be a stunning abuse of power and a direct assault on property rights, Texas real estate developer Timothy Barton has become the latest target of the Biden administration’s politically motivated legal crackdown. Despite being defrauded by foreign actors allegedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Barton is being punished by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a retaliatory campaign that reeks of ideological enforcement.
A bombshell investigation by Loomer Unleashed (July 14, 2025) reveals that Barton, rather than being protected as a fraud victim, is facing draconian legal measures—receivership, forced property sales, and asset freezes—executed without a single criminal conviction. Properties he lawfully developed are now being courted by anonymous LLCs, some with foreign ties. This is lawfare in its purest form.

“This is not justice—this is political persecution through legal theater,” said Debbie Farah, CEO of the Defense Fund. “The federal government is bulldozing the rights of citizens under the guise of enforcement, while handing American land to entities potentially aligned with hostile foreign interests.”
The Defense Fund asserts that Barton’s treatment is a case study in the selective weaponization of federal agencies. Rather than investigating how CCP-linked interests infiltrated his deals, the government has targeted Barton himself, stripping him of due process, property rights, and reputation. This is not an isolated case—it is part of a broader war on American entrepreneurship by the Biden regime. The CCP has been using this strategy involving themselves in development deals with the intention of manipulating getting their hands on Texas land.
“This should terrify every property owner, investor, and business leader in the country,” Farah warned. “If the government can seize your assets without conviction, while foreign-linked companies buy them up, who will be next?”
“In Bidens DOJ we witnessed a new frontier in lawfare—where political ideology drives prosecution, and victims are turned into scapegoats,” said Debbie Farah, CEO of the Defense Fund. “The federal government continues to destroy lives and businesses, even when the facts show that Barton was the one defrauded.”
The Defense Fund is calling on Congressional leaders, the media, and legal watchdogs to demand full transparency and to hold government agencies accountable for overreach. The time to push back against this authoritarian drift is now.
