Since the first details of the story of what was inside Hunter Biden's laptop came to light, Republicans have insisted on digging deeper into the case to uncover everything that really happened before the 2020 presidential election, and they may do so now that Twitter owner Elon Musk decided to expose the first part of the Twitter archives.
As revealed by The Epoch Times, Congress will seek to question the Twitter staff to find out more about what happened in the censorship of the US president's son's laptop case.
James Comer, top Republican on the House Oversight Committee, explained that those involved in the suppression of Hunter's story should testify about their actions to set the American people straight. "All Twitter employees who participated in the suppression of Hunter Biden's laptop story will have the opportunity to come before Congress and explain their actions to the American people," he said.
🚨 In January, I can promise you this.

Previously, Republicans had accused Twitter and other media outlets of hiding the story of the president's son just before the election that determined the nation's current president took place. However, it wasn't until Elon Musk took over the social network that many of the things that had been kept hidden came to light.
The now CEO of Twitter had promised to dig up all the secrets on this topic and last Friday he started to do so together with journalist Matthew C. Taibbi, in a thread called "The Twitter Archives." In that first installment, they explained the modus operandi that had been used to limit people's access to this story and highlighted that there was still much more to come to light, leaving some very serious questions about the case to still be answered.
What is yet to come to light?
One of the big questions that still remains to be resolved is about the role played by the FBI in this matter. It should be recalled that earlier reports were made public about general warnings apparently made by federal security forces about alleged hacks.
22. Although several sources recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there’s no evidence - that I've seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem...

In addition, there were some important statements from prosecutors and even FBI Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan confirming that there were indeed conversations between the agency and some social media platforms.
However, it will not be until more information on the case is released that the suspicions that have arisen can be ascertained.
