Newly-published internal FBI chat messages showed senior  officials prevented discussing the infamous laptop’s credibility days before the 2020 election after an employee inadvertently confirmed it was authentic to Twitter.

New reporting by veteran journalists Catherine Herridge and Michael Shellenberger shone light on internal FBI chat messages depicting senior bureau officials preventing the discussion of former First Son Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop ahead of the 2020 presidential election — after an agency official confirmed it was authentic to Twitter.

The new revelations illustrate just how far the federal government censorship arm’s reach and scope went when attempting to kill the Hunter Biden laptop story — including gagging their own employees.

Quote from Democracy Restored Director Houston Keene

“The First Amendment is non-negotiable, full stop. This new reporting shows just how deep the federal government’s censorship arm went to try and kill an inconvenient truth, even after their own FBI employee confirmed it to Twitter. We cannot allow the censorship industrial complex to take hold in America, and we need to hold those accountable who try to push that dangerous ideology.”
