Internal Twitter communications released by the company's new owner and CEO, Elon Musk, are fueling intense scrutiny of the FBI's efforts alongside social media companies to thwart foreign disinformation

for his business activities in foreign countries. In late 2019, nearly a year before the story first emerged in the New York Post, the FBI had used a subpoena to obtain a laptop that Biden allegedly left behind at a Delaware computer repair store.

Comer also wants to hear from several former US intelligence officials who, days after the laptop story broke, saying it had"all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." The group of former officials who signed the letter included former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who, as a CNN contributor, appeared on the network to express his view.

At the FBI's headquarters in Washington, a team reviewing the internal communications released by Musk says it has identified the 10 documents Chan sent to Roth."I reviewed all 10 of these documents personally and I can say explicitly there is nothing in these 10 documents about Hunter Biden's laptop or about any related story to that," an FBI official involved in the review told CNN.

"All the information exchanged is about the actors and their activity," a second FBI official who reviewed the communications told CNN."What we are not providing is specifics about the content and the narrative. We are also not directing the platforms to do anything. We are just providing it for them to do as they see fit under their own terms of service to protect their platforms and customers.".

One tech source, however, dismissed this and said companies offered their offices for the meetings out of a shared sense of responsibility.
