A San Francisco-based FBI special agent lied under oath about discussions he had with big tech companies that suppressed The Post’s reporting on the contents of first son Hunter Biden’s laptop. The agent had knowledge of the materials on Hunter’s abandoned laptop nearly a year earlier, in November 2019. Facebook reduced the reach of The Post’s laptop reporting at the time, citing policy violations. Twitter also blocked attempts to share the story under the site’s rules governing 'hacked materials'.
of the materials on Hunter’s abandoned laptop nearly a year earlier, in November 2019, an IRS investigator tasked with the case testified in May to the House Ways and Means Committee.. Twitter blocked attempts to share the story under the site’s rules governing “hacked materials.”— at the prompting of then-Biden campaign adviser Antony Blinken — saying the leaked emails had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.
The FBI special agent’s testimony was also undercut last year by the so-called “Twitter Files,” a series of reports on internal records from the social media company that revealedChan sent 10 documents — the contents of which are still unknown — to former Twitter head of trust and safety Yoel Roth the night before the first laptop story was published.
He also arranged “temporary Top Secret security clearances” for Roth and other Twitter executives for briefs on foreign threats to the 2020 election — despite admitting in his deposition that the FBI was not aware of any meddling.
