(Gateway Pundit) Newly released internal Facebook documents have highlighted a series of inaccurate testimonies made by FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan about the agency’s role in downplaying the Hunter Biden laptop story.
These findings, shared on Twitter by Congressman Jim Jordan, indicate a clear line of communication between the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and Big Tech, with Agent Chan at the nexus.
The documents shed light on a key meeting on October 14, 2020—the same day the New York Post published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop. This meeting saw the involvement of Laura Dehmlow, the current Section Chief of FITF, and Agent Chan.
The 51 spies who lied openly to the American public.
In July of this year, both Dehmlow and Chan testified before the House Judiciary and Weaponization Committees. Dehmlow’s testimony revealed shocking details about the FBI deliberately withholding information about Hunter Biden’s laptop from social media companies on the day the story broke.
Dehmlow also revealed that the FBI then engaged in internal deliberations to decide how to respond to the question in future. Subsequently, the FBI adopted the position of “no comment” for any queries regarding the laptop’s authenticity. This included a later meeting on October 14 with Facebook, in which both Chan and Dehmlow participated.
Later that same day—October 14—Facebook met with the FBI, including Chan and Dehmlow.

Even though key members of the FBI’s FITF knew the laptop was real, they chose to stick with the “no comment” stance.
This led to the censorship of the New York Post story by Twitter and Facebook, misinforming many Americans who either did not hear about the story or were misled to believe that it was the product of Russian disinformation, only weeks before the 2020 election.
Fast forward to November 2022, Chan, a significant figure in the government’s censorship regime, was deposed. His testimony included misleading statements about the October 14 meeting and falsely denied any other communication between the FBI and Facebook regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story.
However, an internal Facebook document recently obtained by the Committee contradicts Chan’s testimony. This document shows that Chan had a secret “follow up” call with Facebook about the Hunter Biden laptop story on October 15, just one day after the initial Facebook meeting.
