Newly Revealed FBI Messages Expose Agency’s Suppression of Hunter Biden Laptop Story Ahead of 2020 Election: Report
Newly revealed internal FBI messages have uncovered a startling effort by the agency to quash the explosive Hunter Biden laptop story in the lead-up to the 2020 election. These documents, released by the House Judiciary Committee, show a coordinated effort by senior FBI officials to suppress any discussion of the laptop, which could have severely impacted the Biden campaign.

The documents reveal that on October 14, 2020, the FBI had possession of the laptop and confirmed its authenticity but still sought to downplay its significance. One internal message from that day advised agents, “Please do not discuss Biden matter,” despite the fact that the story was breaking across news outlets.
This coordinated effort allowed Big Tech companies to censor the story, claiming it was “Russian disinformation” without evidence, according to Trending Politics.
In testimony to Congress, Laura Dehmlow, head of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, confirmed that an FBI analyst attempted to confirm the laptop’s authenticity to Twitter, only to be admonished and silenced by senior officials. These actions contradicted the FBI’s public stance that it was working to combat foreign interference, raising concerns about the agency’s role in suppressing free speech.
Internal chat logs show FBI officials questioning the coverage of the laptop story, with one sarcastically referring to it as a “domestic hit job.” Another official asked, “You guys are tracking the coverage of the laptop right?” as they sought to control the narrative around the unfolding scandal.
The FBI’s directive to keep quiet about the laptop came as tech companies, including Twitter and Facebook, leaned heavily on FBI guidance to determine whether to block content, TP notes. Internal Facebook messages released last year revealed that executives had discussed suppressing the New York Post’s article to avoid antagonizing a potential Biden-Harris administration.
Despite the FBI eventually conceding that there was no evidence linking the laptop to Russian disinformation, it continued to withhold critical information about its authenticity for weeks. This decision to suppress the truth about Hunter Biden’s dealings, even as millions of Americans voted, drew sharp criticism from members of Congress.
In a statement, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) blasted the FBI for misleading the public and helping Big Tech suppress the story.
“If the FBI’s intent was truly to combat foreign interference, they would have told the truth — not imposed a gag order,” Jordan said, per TP.
The Judiciary Committee’s report calls the FBI’s actions a direct interference in the 2020 election, as the laptop’s contents could have changed voter perceptions about Joe Biden. Critics argue that the agency’s attempt to shield the story from public scrutiny was part of a broader effort to protect the Biden campaign from damaging revelations.

In light of the explosive revelations from the FBI chat logs, the implications of these actions are still unfolding. As the investigation into the Hunter Biden laptop continues, scrutiny of the FBI’s role in managing politically sensitive information is speculated to intensify.
With the release of these documents, the public’s trust in how federal agencies handle such matters may be permanently altered. As more details emerge, the full scope of the FBI’s involvement will come under greater examination, potentially reshaping the narrative around this high-profile case for years to come.
