Two senators are demanding all communications about Hunter Biden’s laptop between the FBI and Facebook following a bombshell admission from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that FBI officials told him in late 2020 that there would be reports that were actually Russian disinformation.
Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) on Aug. 29 sent a letter to Zuckerberg saying that in October 2020, “when the New York Post published articles based on evidence from Hunter Biden’s laptop, many news and social media organizations inappropriately rushed to censor and discredit the initial reporting and falsely labeled it as ‘disinformation.'”
In an Aug. 25 podcast interview with Joe Rogan, Zuckerberg said Facebook actively reduced the reach of posts and articles regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop, which contained messages and emails about the younger Biden’s overseas business dealings as well as communication with his family, including President Joe Biden, regarding his deals.
Earlier this year, legacy news outlets ultimately reported that the laptop was real—not Russian disinformation.
“Basically, the background here is the FBI, I think basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was, like, ‘Hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that, basically, there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant,'” Zuckerberg told Rogan.
The two Republicans demanded Zuckerberg hand over any relevant information and communications by Sept. 12.
Letter “You recently appeared to indicate that the reason why Facebook made the unwise decision to censor articles about Hunter Biden’s laptop was based off an alert from the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the senators wrote, referencing Zuckerberg’s interview with Rogan.

Ron Johnson (R, WI)
The guy is like a dog on a bone. He’s not going to let this one go, either.
Make Zuckerberg name names. It wasn’t “the FBI” who met with Facebook. It was individual FBI agents. Who were they?
L
There is no relevant information, the FBI did this with no paper trail, just a wink and a nod among friends. What they need to do is call the FB employees to the stand under oath.
Another stern letter goes out.
Great guy.
