An FBI agent testified to Republican attorneys general this week that the FBI held weekly meetings with Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
California GOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson and Fox News contributor Richard Fowler discuss Elon Musk vowing to return free speech to Twitter and the White House's reaction on 'Fox News @ Night.'– An FBI agent testified to Republican attorneys general this week that the FBI held weekly meetings within Silicon Valley ahead of the 2020 presidential election to discuss"disinformation" on social media and ask about efforts to censor that information.
During the deposition, Chan said that he, along with the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force and senior Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency officials, had weekly meetings with major social media companies to warn against Russian disinformation attempts ahead of the 2020 election, according to a source in the Missouri attorney general's office.
In their complaint, the GOP AGs noted an Aug. 26 podcast episode of"The Joe Rogan Experience," in which Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that"the FBI basically came to us" and told Facebook to be"on high alert" relating to"a lot of Russian propaganda." Zuckerberg added that the FBI said"there’s about to be some kind of dump… that’s similar to that, so just be vigilant.
"On information and belief, the FBI’s reference to a 'dump' of information was a specific reference to the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, which was already in the FBI's possession," the complaint said.
