FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan is the main conduit between the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force and Big Tech.
Agent Chan was in the meeting between the FBI and Facebook on Oct. 14, 2020—the day the @nypost published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop.

In July, @JudiciaryGOP and @Weaponization interviewed Laura Dehmlow.
Her testimony was shocking, revealing that the FBI deliberately withheld critical information from social media companies about Hunter Biden’s laptop the day that the @nypost story broke.

When Twitter asked if the laptop was real, an FBI agent said “yes.” But a second FBI agent—a lawyer—jumped in, cut him off, and said, “no further comment.”

Later that same day—October 14—Facebook met with the FBI, including Chan and Dehmlow.
Facebook asked the same question: is the laptop real? Now having its story straight, the FBI responded, “no comment.” pic.twitter.com/426HHmKtre

We know what happened next.
Twitter and Facebook censored the @nypost story.
The Biden campaign secretly set in motion the events that led to the 51 former intel officials discrediting the story as Russian disinformation.

Fast forward to November 2022. Elvis Chan is being deposed as one of the key figures in the government’s censorship regime.
He is obligated to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Chan was then asked if the FBI had any meetings with companies, other than the Facebook meeting, about the Hunter Biden story?
Chan responds that he is “confident” that he was not part of any meetings with Big Tech about Hunter Biden. pic.twitter.com/yMKnExtKMm

COMPLETELY FALSE.
The Committee has recently obtained an internal Facebook document PROVING that Agent Chan had a secret “follow up” call with Facebook about the Hunter Biden laptop story on October 15, just one day after the @nypost story and the first Facebook meeting! pic.twitter.com/fPkUQzDIy4

But the Facebook employee, an ex-FBI agent, wrote—the day after the story broke—that “Chan advised that he was up to speed on the current state of the matter within the FBI.”
Chan also told FB that “there was no current evidence to suggest any foreign connection…of the leaks.” pic.twitter.com/LTJ28OhFwy
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 7, 2023
Of course, there was “no evidence” of “any foreign connection.”
The laptop was real, and the FBI knew it.
The FBI had the laptop since December 2019.https://t.co/OGvmv44njE

Our investigation remains ongoing and we will continue to update the public with our findings as we prepare and consider legislation to fight the censorship-industrial complex and protect the First Amendment.

And that federal case against the Biden Administration? That’s still ongoing.
On July 4, a federal court granted an injunction prohibiting the Biden Administration from continuing to censor Americans.
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 7, 2023
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear oral argument this Thursday. The freedom of speech is at stake.
Too be continued…
