And another story broke about Hunter Biden buying a firearm, and on his application saying he wasn’t a drug user. More on that shortly.
But this.
Amid mounting questions over an FBI warning that prompted Facebook to suppress a story about Hunter Biden ’s laptop, the federal agency now faces a lawsuit seeking to compel it to publicize conversations it had with the social media giant.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by America First Legal (AFL) at a Washington D.C. District Court. The non-profit group, founded by longtime Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller, said Americans deserve to know what the FBI and the social media giant were up to as the November elections approached.
According to the complaint ( pdf ), the AFL requested in August that the FBI make public all of its communications with Facebook between Oct. 1, 2020, and Nov. 15, 2020. However, the FBI turned down that request, claiming that it was so “overly broad” that it couldn’t be done “with a reasonable amount of effort.”
AFL’s complaint said: “ Barely a month before the 2022 midterm election , FBI officials continue to suppress information of great interest to American voters and stonewall AFL’s request for records relating to the FBI’s collusive scheme with Facebook to censor news and information about the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop.”
