Key Points
- The FBI sprang into action just hours after The Post reached out to Hunter Biden for comment about his scandalous laptop — which contained details of the then-presidential candidate’s son and his extensive dealings with Chinese and other foreign business interests – warning Twitter and Facebook executives, without any evidence, that it was a Russian “hack and leak” operation.
- A day later, Twitter and other social media companies censored The Post’s article, “preventing it from spreading and, more importantly, undermining its credibility in the minds of many Americans.”
- FBI San Francisco Special Agent Elvis Chan sent 10 documents to Twitter’s then-head of site integrity Yoel Roth and at least one other person on the night of Oct. 13, 2020, via a special one-way communications channel.
