A Republican congressman is urging Elon MuskTwitterโ€™s new owner, to hand over all records related to the social media companyโ€™s suppression of a story about Hunter Bidenโ€™s laptop in the weeks leading to the 2020 presidential election.

Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, said in a letter that he expects Twitterโ€™s new leadership to cooperate with the investigation into โ€œthe Biden familyโ€™s pattern of influence peddling to enrich themselves and President Bidenโ€™s involvement in these schemes.โ€

โ€œAs part of this investigation, Committee Republicans are reviewing the role Big Techโ€”including Twitterโ€”played in supporting the Biden campaign in 2020 by suppressing certain stories implicating the Bidens,โ€ Comer wrote in an Oct. 28 letter (pdf) to Musk.

A previous attempt to obtain relevant information from Twitter was unsuccessful, according to Comer, as former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal never responded to the congressional request that the company โ€œpreserve all documents and communicationsโ€ regarding the decision to limit the reach of a New York Post article about emails retrieved from Hunter Bidenโ€™s laptop.

Those emails, according to the Post, showed a direct link then-presidential candidate Joe Biden had with his sonโ€™s dubious business dealings in China and Ukraine. Shortly after the storyโ€™s publication, Twitter not only prohibited users from sharing it, but also suspended the Postโ€™s account for two weeks.

Users who tried to share the storyโ€™s link were greeted with a message saying, โ€œWe canโ€™t complete this request because this link has been identified by Twitter or our partners as being potentially harmful.โ€ Those who tried to open the link in existing posts were also warned that it was โ€œpotentially spammy and unsafe.โ€

Meanwhile, Facebook also algorithmicallyย censored the laptop storyย after getting a general warning against โ€œRussian disinformationโ€ from the FBI.
