Judicial Watch has sued the FBI under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to unseal records from meetings between Twitter executives and the Biden FBI to censor the American people.
The lawsuit was filed in 2023 after the FBI ignored a FOIA request for the records of meetings between June 2020 and December 2022.
For some reason, Trump’s DOJ is still fighting against Biden’s censorship efforts, which specifically targeted conservatives, including The Gateway Pundit’s reporting on election fraud, being exposed.
FRUSTRATING: So @JudicialWatch has to go to Federal court this morning to fight with @AGPamBondi DOJ and @FBIDirectorKash FBI for basic info about the Biden’s FBI schemes to use Twitter (@X) to spy on and censor Americans.

Via Judicial Watch:
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that a hearing is ordered by U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan for June 18 at 11 a.m. ET in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for “Twitter Files” records concerning Hunter Biden’s laptop and other censorship. The only issue remaining in the lawsuit is the FBI’s continued hiding of records documenting two meetings between Twitter and the Biden FBI.
Judicial Watch filed the April 2023 lawsuit against the Justice Department, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence after the FBI failed to respond to a December 2022 FOIA request for the records of any FBI official and key Twitter employees between June 2020 and December 2022 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice(No. 1:23-cv-01163)).
The lawsuit references Yoel Roth, Vijaya Gadde, and Jim Baker, who were prominent in internal discussions at Twitter about censoring the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, as journalist Matt Taibbi revealed in the December 2022 release of the “Twitter Files.”
“It is frustrating beyond belief for Judicial Watch to have to go to federal court for basic information on Biden’s abuse of the FBI, using Twitter to censor and monitor Americans,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Fitton said after the hearing that the DOJ was “arguing why the American people should not be able to see what the Biden FBI was planning with Twitter.”
So @AGPamBondi DOJ attorneys were in federal court yesterday arguing why the American people should not be able to see what the Biden FBI was planning with Twitter (@X). https://t.co/pvirfmqyJo https://t.co/0vPYRiG8hp

“The only issue remaining in the lawsuit is the FBI’s continued hiding of records documenting two meetings between Twitter and the Biden FBI,” the watchdog group said in a press release on Friday.
The group has repeatedly pointed to public statements from FBI Director Kash Patel, such as the one below, where he vows, “The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice. There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued.”

No JFK files, MLK files, Epstein files or Biden files. They're starting to resemble the political gangsters they replaced.
“They’re starting to resemble the political gangsters they replaced.”
Someone straightened them out on how things really work and who’s really in charge and it ain’t them or us.

Thanks for posting. HOORAY Tom Fitton!
I’ve been banned on Twitter/X for 6 years despite numerous appeals.
I’d love to know by whom and why.
BTW, Mr. Fitton, if you’re lurking...
I’m a registered Dem.
“U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan”
Judge “Sparkle” — now that just oozed authority.
“A Trinidadian and Tobagonian-born American lawyer”.
Do we have any American-born judges?
Yes, I agree, but forcing them to do it via lawsuit will actually give more credence to the evidence. If they just dumped it...then the left would say they are lying and just releasing fake news.
>>>>Sparkle L. Sooknanan<<<<
It sounds like a stripper name.
Kash and Bondi are making it look like they are more afraid of deep state than pissed off citizens.
Bondi, Patel, and Bonginno.
WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE!!!!???
Big talk, HARDLY ANY ACTION.
WILL NO ONE HELP THE American people find truth??
Being able to effectively silence Bondi, Patel AND Bongino leads me to believe that something very, very bad is being held over their heads.
“Do we have any American-born judges?”
Isn’t that the truth? WTH is with all these foreign-born judges?
Like JFK was nothing.
The buck stops with Trump.
Seems to me like this would be an issue for the Civil Rights Division.
Do we know whether or not they are involved?
The applicable principle is this:
If the government pressured social media companies to censor American citizens, and the media companies complied, that makes them government actors and the First Amendment applies.
In what way?
I believe the FBI and DHS/CISA were key players involved.
Bondi and Patel are useless, what are they afraid of??? What does someone have over them??? SMH at these useless tools.
