Chair of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) recently revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents involved in Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” investigation lied about the extent of its communications with Facebook in 2020.
In the excerpts of the testimony given by Elvis Chan, who served as one of the FBI’s liaisons with the tech company, and Laura Dehmlow, the current FBI section chief of the Foreign Influence Task Force, the agency claimed that it only met one time with the social media platform. In the November 2022 sworn deposition, which is a part of Missouri and Louisiana’s lawsuit against the federal government and the Biden administration for colluding with social media companies to censor speech, Chan claimed that apart from one instance, he was not aware of any meetings between FB and the FBI regarding the younger Biden’s laptop story. He also claimed that he had “no internal knowledge” of the investigation.
However, the uncovered internal communication, which Jordan dubbed as “Facebook Files” and obtained by the committee through a subpoena, proved these to be “completely false.” It revealed that contrary to his claims of having no knowledge about the investigation, the FBI agent had a secret ‘follow-up’ call with Facebook on October 15, just one day after the New York Post story and the first FB meeting. He confidently told the tech company that “there was no evidence of any foreign connection …of the leaks.”
