The US media is reporting that evidence of Biden’s involvement in a corruption deal with Ukraine was found in an abandoned computer copy of a letter from Biden’s son, Hunter, and the two social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter, immediately blocked any reposting of the report, sparking controversy. In response, 19 members of the U.S. House of Representatives signed a petition asking the FBI to clarify whether Hunter’s computer, which stored key letters, was obtained during the Trump impeachment, as reported. If that is the case, the FBI has “made a significant misjudgment” in its investigation of Trump’s impeachment.
Trump was impeached in 2019 when he asked Ukrainian authorities to investigate “whether former Vice President Biden pressured a Ukrainian prosecutor investigating corruption to fire his son, Hunter, so he wouldn’t be prosecuted for corruption”; however, the New York Post recently revealed that the FBI had Hunter’s computer with key emails in it at the time.
According to the New York Post, a computer repair store owner pointed out that a laptop that Hunter had sent for repair contained key emails between Hunter and Ukrainian energy companies, including letters from top executives of natural gas dealers thanking Hunter for arranging a meeting with Biden, as well as emails about a high-value consulting contract with Mandarin Energy Chairman James Yeh. In addition, there are indecent photos and videos of Hunter using drugs and having sex with women. In response, the boss turned the computer over to the FBI for identification, and a few weeks later the FBI handed over the documents to the boss and confiscated the computer.
According to Fox News, 19 Republican lawmakers signed a letter to the FBI on Thursday, pointing out that if the FBI had the information, it would have “committed a major error in judgment” and violated a “relationship of trust” by not warning the White House about the Trump impeachment and not even handing it over to Trump’s legal team.
The FBI does not deny and does not confirm the existence of the relevant investigation for the previous part of the media inquiry; for the House of Representatives to submit a letter of signatures, the FBI spokesman said that it has received the letter, but for the time being no further comment. Meanwhile, Republican Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Lindsey Graham (D-N.Y.), and Josh Hawley (D-N.Y.) have asked the CEOs of Twitter and Facebook to appear at the hearing to explain the status of the social media platform’s decision to block any reposting of the story in the first place.
