According to deposition testimony made public by the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday, a senior FBI official told Twitter that Hunter Biden’s laptop was legitimate on the same day The New York Post published the first of its bombshell reporting series on documents linking President Biden to his son’s international business deals.
The New York Post published the first of several articles about Hunter Biden’s laptop and his father’s alleged involvement in his business dealings with the Ukrainian gas firm Burisma while he was vice president in October 2020, just weeks before Joe Biden defeated then-President Donald Trump in the election.
However, Twitter blocked the Post from sharing its scandal-related pieces on the social media platform, then suspended their account, claiming that it was “Russian disinformation.”
The majority of the American public was mostly unaware of the corruption charges that were revealed by the contents of the laptop when Biden declared victory against Trump.
However, according to a recent source, an FBI agent verified the authenticity of the laptop on Twitter on the same day that the Post’s initial claim was published.
The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force section leader, Laura Dehmlow, reportedly stated this before the House Judiciary Committee on Monday during a closed-door deposition testimony, according to the New York Post on Thursday.
“Somebody from Twitter essentially asked whether the laptop was real. And one of the FBI folks who was on the call did confirm that, ‘yes, it was,’ before another participant jumped in and said, ‘no further comment,’” Dehmlow said.
According to the report, which referenced a statement from the Republican-led Judiciary Committee, this conversation between Twitter and the FBI took place on October 14, 2020, just hours after the Post published the first laptop piece on its website.
This would imply that Twitter chose to censor the laptop reports despite knowing they were accurate.
Election interference is the only term that applies if that is what took place.
Many people claim that they would have cast a different vote in the election if they had been aware of the Hunter Biden laptop incident and the accusations made against the Biden family.
According to a study conducted on November 24, 2020, up to 17% of Biden supporters might have changed their votes if they had known the knowledge.
It’s highly likely that Trump would have won reelection if Twitter’s censorship of the story hadn’t occurred.
It appears that Twitter, which at the time was run by Jack Dorsey, may have covered up the story in an effort to help aid the Biden campaign in winning the election.
Here, a firm that regulates most of the web content is blocking a story that, despite being true, could harm a particular candidate.
If the now Twitter owner, Elon Musk decides to help bring justice to the censorship that Twitter committed, former Twitter leadership as well as the Biden administration may be in quite some trouble, lets hope Elon does the right thing and brings this to light.
