FBI Spent a Year Preparing Platforms to Censor Biden Story, Withheld Info on Laptop’s Authenticity

The FBI spent the better part of a year preparing social media platforms to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story and withheld information from the companies when they wanted to know whether or not the laptop was authentic, despite knowing the laptop was real long before the 2020 election.

Even though the FBI authenticated the Hunter Biden laptop archive in late 2019, the bureau met with tech platforms over 30 times beginning in early 2020 to “prebunk” allegations that the Biden family traded off Joe Biden’s name to make a fortune from foreign business deals, according to a bombshell House Judiciary Committee report obtained by National Review. The FBI declined to comment on the report.

“In many of these meetings between federal agencies and Big Tech, the FBI raised the topic of potential ‘hack-and-leak’ operations amid conversations about “election security” and potential foreign influence operations,” the report reads.

“In response, some platforms even adopted new content moderation policies specifically designed to address hacked materials.”
