Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) called for a Congressional probe into big tech and corporate media’s collusion concerning the blackout of reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
“Tonight, I’m calling for a Congressional investigation into how big tech, mainstream media, and the Democrat industrial complex colluded to suppress the Hunter Biden scandals — and during the last days of the 2020 election,” Rep. Issa tweeted .
The New York Post first reported on Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020, just weeks before the election. The laptop revealed Hunter Biden’s involvement in pursuing lucrative overseas business deals.
According to the Post
The laptop’s hard drive contained a trove of emails, text messages, photos and financial documents between Hunter Biden, his family and business associates — detailing how the president’s son used his political leverage in his overseas business dealings.
Despite the massive story involving President Joe Biden’s son, the corporate media stayed silent and big tech engaged in a massive censorship campaign to prevent the reports from spreading.
Corporate media attempted to link the story to Russian intelligence, and some organizations flat out ignored the story. NPR notoriously said , “We don’t want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”
Twitter even went so far as to shut down the New York Post’ s account when the Post released the report.
More than one year into Joe Biden’s presidency, corporate media now admits the authenticity of Hunter Biden’s laptop. A New York Times story released Wednesday about the ongoing federal investigation into Hunter Biden said , “The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.”
Issa’s call for a congressional investigation into big tech and corporate media’s handling of the Hunter Biden laptop story comes just days after Issa announced Congressional Republicans are “preparing” for a legion of “watchdogs” to “hold this President accountable in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
“You’ve got to believe that Congress’s other duties pale in comparison to being a watchdog,” Issa told Breitbart News.

Exclusive — Frank Gaffney: Congress Must Investigate CCP Links to Biden Admin Win McNamee/Getty 3:05
Frank Gaffney, executive chairman and founder of the Center for Security Policy, questions whether the Biden administration’s “wrecking operation” against the United States may be the result of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) use of “elite capture” to “compromise” President Joe Biden and senior White House officials.
The policies of Biden’s administration undermine America’s national interests while benefiting the CCP, Gaffney said on Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with special guest host Matt Boyle. The White House’s conduct — including revelations made by Peter Schweizer in Red-Handed : How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win — warrant investigation by select committees in both houses of Congress, he argued.
Gaffney remarked:
The unified field theory that I think is in order here is that we are now not simply being subjected to what I’ve long characterized on this program and elsewhere as a wrecking operation perpetrated by the Biden-Harris administration on our country, but that when you start looking at, well, just about every aspect of it, it’s not just doing damage to us. It’s benefiting the Chinese Communist Party.
…
The question that my unified field theory poses is: Is it possible that not only has the Biden-Harris administration been doing such things — and there many more of course, but such things just as examples — to devastate our country, to weaken it, to take it down, but that it’s actually doing it at the bidding of the people [the CCP] who have deeply compromised not only Joe Biden, but many in his senior subordinate leadership?
That’s a question that demands — it seems to me at this point — congressional investigation, media inquiries, investigation by other national security practitioners, if not by the Justice Department and the counterintelligence services, such as they are, of our intelligence community.
Boyle synthesized Gaffney’s arguments in the interview as he said, “What you’re saying is … we need a select committee from Congress to investigate the efforts of the Chinese Communist Party to compromise, not just President Biden and his family, but more broadly his administration.”
“Absolutely,” replied Gaffney, “I’m not holding my breath that Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer will do this, but it’s needed.”
Gaffney noted that the Biden administration’s restrictions on fossil fuel resource development — marketed by the White House as measures to combat “climate change” and a “climate emergency” — harm America’s national interests by artificially suppressing the global supply of oil and driving up costs for the global commodity. These ostensibly “environmental” policies, he warned, threaten the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency.

Jen Psaki Refuses to Confirm Authenticity of Hunter Biden Laptop AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster 1:35
The White House again sidestepped new reports on Thursday that information from Hunter Biden’s recovered laptop was real and not Russian disinformation.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki refused to address new reporting from the New York Times finally confirming the authenticity of damning information about the Biden family from the infamous laptop.
“I’d point you to the Department of Justice and Hunter Biden’s representatives,” Psaki said to a reporter when asked if she still stood by her claim that the laptop was Russian disinformation.
“I’m a spokesperson for the United States, he doesn’t work for the United States,” she concluded before moving to another question.
Psaki also refused to address President Joe Biden’s claim that the information on the laptop was a “bunch of garbage” and a “Russian plant.”
“I’d point you to the Department of Justice and also Hunter Biden’s representatives,” she replied. “He doesn’t work in the government.”
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Hunter Biden borrowed money to pay a tax bill that was over a million dollars as the Justice Department investigation into his international business deals continue.
During the 2020 presidential campaign, Psaki shared disinformation about the laptop, suggesting it was a Russian attempt to influence the election. In September, Psaki dismissed the laptop as part of “a broad range of Russian disinformation back in 2020” when asked about the laptop.
