On Tuesday, lawyers from the offices of Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana deposed FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan as part of their lawsuit against the Biden administration. That suit accuses high-ranking government officials of working with giant social media companies "under the guise of combating misinformation" to achieve greater censorship.
Chan, who serves in the FBI’s San Francisco bureau, was questioned under oath by court order about his alleged "critical role" in "coordinating with social-media platforms relating to censorship and suppression of speech on their platforms."
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.

Fox News Digital also learned that, according to Chan's testimony, the FBI regularly sends social media companies lists of internet URLs and social media accounts that should be taken down because they are "disinformation" from "malign foreign influence operations." The FBI then inquires whether the platforms have taken down the content. On many occasions, the platforms take down the accounts flagged by the FBI.
"Since filing our lawsuit, we've uncovered troves of discovery that show a massive 'censorship enterprise,'" Attorney General Eric Schmitt told Fox News Digital. "Now, we're deposing top government officials, and we're one of the first to get a look under the hood — the information we've uncovered through those depositions has been shocking to say the least. It's clear from Tuesday's deposition that the FBI has an extremely close role in working to censor freedom of speech."

The FBI just can’t help themselves.
Trump is not going to win in 2024. DeSantis should think twice. And I say this as a DeSantis supporter. DeSantis may have to contend with Trump running on a third party ticket. And he'll have to go against Biden with the backing of the Deep State.
At least in 2028, Biden will be gone. Trump will be history. But the Deep State will still be there so they will find another stooge (Newsom?).
Bob Barr’s FBI.
Of course they did. That’s Obama’s FBI now!
BKMRK.
FOTUS just laughs at us.
Conspiracy to interfere with an American election. The FBI is corrupt to the bone.
People need to go to jail for what they’ve done.
The FBI/Deep State interfered in our elections. And are trying to persecute their victim (Trump) more.
It’s the biggest outrage in American political history.
F the FBI!!!!!
RICO?
Jim Jordon needs to make this his first order of business on the House Judiciary Committee. MArk Levin also made this point tonight.
If Jim does NOT do so....we know the fix is in.
Amen!
BILL Barr’s FBI...
Since when is “disinformation” illegal?
(That ignores whether it was in fact “disinformation”)
There was no declared war.
“We have a Fake Government by rigged “elections”.”
Says it all.
Special “Communist Chinese Agent” Elvis Chan!
As we always suspected.
Yes, as much as I sometimes get exasperated with Trump, I do hope he wins in 2024 and settles some scores.
True.
Not news. Pro swamp Website FedScoop reported daily on the specifics of those meetings.
