House Republicans revealed on Thursday behind-the-scenes details about their conflicts with an FBI official who they say had a key role in social media companies censoring the story about Hunter Biden's laptop in 2020.
The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee released a lengthy thread on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, laying out how tense discussions with Elvis Chan, a San Francisco-based assistant special agent in charge, resulted in the committee subpoenaing Chan for an Oct. 5 deposition.
The FBI countered in a statement provided to the Washington Examiner that this was a"significant departure from" the committee's"normal procedures." The committee has issued dozens of subpoenas this year, but sharing with the public the internal drama surrounding Chan's derailed interview is a rare move that signals the committee could be preparing for further problems with Chan should his forthcoming deposition not go according to plan.
A judge mentioned Chan in a sweeping memorandum on July 4, saying Chan participated in regular"industry meetings" with various social media companies, including Meta, X , YouTube, and others.
