Facebook Finally Admits Wrongly Suppressing Hunter Biden Laptop Story After FBI Warning
Clear Facts
- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted Facebook suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story after an FBI warning about potential Russian disinformation.
- Zuckerberg acknowledged the story was not Russian disinformation and stated that Facebook should not have demoted it.
- Facebook has since changed its policies to avoid similar actions in the future.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has come forward with a startling revelation: Facebook suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story following a warning from the FBI about a potential Russian disinformation campaign. This admission sheds light on the social media giant’s role in shaping public discourse during a crucial election period.
In a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Zuckerberg explained that the FBI had warned Facebook about a possible “Russian disinformation operation” targeting President Joe Biden’s family. Acting on this warning, Facebook decided to kill an article from the New York Post.
Zuckerberg elaborated on the company’s actions, stating that Facebook “sent that story to fact-checkers” and had it “temporarily demoted.”
“It’s since been made clear that the reporting was not Russian disinformation, and in retrospect, we shouldn’t have demoted the story,” Zuckerberg added.
“We’ve changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn’t happen again — for instance, we no longer temporarily demote things in the U.S. while waiting for fact-checkers.”
This admission follows testimony from a political editor before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The editor testified that the FBI knew the Hunter Biden laptop was real as early as December 2019, long before the story was published in October 2020.
Zuckerberg reiterated that the FBI had “warned” about a potential “Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family,” prompting Facebook to demote the New York Post article.
“The FBI warned us about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family and Burisma in the lead up to the 2020 election,” Zuckerberg wrote. “That fall, when we saw a New York Post story reporting on corruption allegations involving then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s family, we sent that story to fact-checkers for review and temporarily demoted it while waiting for a reply.”
Despite the FBI’s awareness of the laptop and its frequent communications with social media officials before the 2020 election, both platforms censored the story and prevented Americans from sharing it, citing concerns over potential Russian disinformation.

The problem starts upstream.
A – Hunter’s “partners” included former FBI Head Louie Freeh
B – Louie Freeh was using top level FBI contacts to assist Burisma as part of ” team Hunter”
C – Louie Freeh was a long time Biden insider
D – The FBI had a duplicate of the Hunter Biden laptop (including more than 125,000 emails, plus texts and hundreds of hours of Hunter’s selfie videos often featuring young, trafficked women whom Hunter had acquired from international sex traffickers and flown across the country.
E – Banks had filed Suspicious Activity Reports ( SAR’s) reporting the international sex trafficking and large sums from offshore sources
F – The FBI was offered that laptop half a year earlier by the son of the computer shop owner , a retired USAF officer. The shop was very concerned because the laptop appeared to contain a large quantity of sex tapes with very young women .
G – The laptop documented the participation of
Anthony Blinken
FBI
State Department
Joe Biden
In the influence peddling scheme to protect Burisma
H – Chris Boies , another prominent DC lawyer used his firm to launder some of the inbound funds as Hunter was concerned about potential exposure of his failure to register as a foreign agent.

Mark Zuckerberg should go to JAIL immediately if not sooner. What nerve he has to do something like that. Does he think the American people are stupid??

Zuckerberg is a textbook example of the phrase “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” How much did he profit from this situation?
No doubt this info will be buried in the typical manner as the laptop story.

It is not treason. It was perfectly legal. Private companies can do as they please. The issue is with the FBI and the Biden administration. The only violation of law that Mark Z did was not registering as a PAK.
