Twitter and Facebook officials donated to Biden campaign while blocking news about Hunter [Video]

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

• Facebook and Twitter officials reportedly donated significant sums of money to Joe Biden’s presidential bid.
• President Trump has consistently lambasted the social media giants for their alleged suppression of the opinions of the conservatives. 
• The two firms also reportedly blocked the investigative report against Hunter Biden’s business dealings with China and Ukraine.

Twitter and Facebook officials donated hundreds of thousands of dollars into the presidential bid of  Joe Biden, and at the same time, obstructed the exposure of New York Post about the overseas business transactions of son Hunter Biden.

The disclosure was following the allegations from President Trump and his Republican allies that Silicon Valley is repressing conservative opinions, generating a response for the tech companies to be stripped off their accountability safeguards.

Scrutiny of Federal Election Commission accounts showed that Erin Egan, chief privacy officer and vice president of public policy of Facebook, contributed $99,440.01 to Biden and his party on the last weeks of the campaign.

Egan contributed the max support of $2,800 to Biden’s presidential bid on Sept. 8 and Oct. 1 before putting in a considerable amount of $55,000 for the former VP’s Victory Fund, and another $35,500 intended for the  Democratic National Committee.

As stated in Biden’s web page, the victory fund is a shared fundraising move among his team, the DNC, and the about 47 state parties to help ensure the victory of the Democratic candidate.

It was reported earlier by Fox News though that Egan did not help fund Biden’s campaign.

Similarly, David Wehner, chief financial officer for Facebook, contributed $2,800 each for the president-elect’s campaign, and Democrat Amy McGrath’s unsuccessful move to oust Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the Kentucky race.

Chief revenue officer for Facebook, David Fischer, gave $2,800 to the campaign Biden during the primary in the Democratic party. FEC records also show that $750 more was donated during the election.

Fischer, however,  also contributed dollars by tens of thousands to Democratic nominees different crucial races such as Jamie Harrison’s failed bid versus Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, and ohn Hickenlooper and

Mark Kelly’s senatorial victory in Arizona and Colorado.

Many Facebook vice presidents and the chief financial officer of Instagram also gave to Biden’s presidential bid the max $2,800 contribution.

Several Twitter senior employees also donated only to Biden and his Democrat party.

In September, Twitter Vice president Matt Derella added $2,000 to Biden’s campaign fund,  while James Kelm,  product management senior director donated twice totaling $5,600,  as recorded by FEC.

Both Twitter and Facebook representatives refused to comment, while the camp of Biden did not respond right away when asked on Tuesday.

The tech firms have become a target recently following their actions limiting the reposting of The Post’s report on Hunter Biden’s shady business transactions in China and Ukraine, with Twitter even prohibiting the outlet’s account for a couple of weeks.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey issued an apology after receiving backlash, calling the move intolerable.
