Sunday at a White House event, Hunter Biden ignored questions over the October 2020 release of Twitter docs demonstrating how the social media company blocked The Washington Post’s explosive reports on his laptop.
President Biden addressed the Kennedy Center honorees, including George Clooney, the Irish rock band U2, Grammy winner Gladys Knight, composer Tania León, and singer Amy Grant, during a star-studded reception in the East Room attended by the first son.
The White House pool reporters covering the event wanted to ask Hunter Biden about the revelation of the so-called “Twitter Files” and the forthcoming Republican probes of his international business connections, as reported by The Washington Post in 2020.
As the band began playing U2 songs, Hunter Biden, sat in the back of the room with his wife Melissa Cohen, grinned and left.

At a White House luncheon for Kennedy Center recipients, Hunter Biden disregarded questions about Twitter’s allegation on blocking The Post’s October 2020 piece on him.
Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, revealed the internal considerations that led a tiny group of Twitter’s top officials to suppress The Post’s 2020 story on Hunter Biden.

The records, which were published in a story by writer Matt Taibbi on Friday, revealed that the group kept its conversations private from then-CEO Jack Dorsey and concluded that the piece may have contained “hacked files.”
Sunday at the White House, Hunter Biden hosted a reception for Kennedy Center recipients.
Taibbi wrote: “Although numerous people reported hearing about a ‘general’ warning from federal law enforcement that summer about probable foreign hacking, I have seen no proof of government participation in the laptop narrative.”
The Post’s Miranda Devine reported on Monday that one of the executives involved in the decision to suppress the Hunter Biden story stated in a sworn deposition that the FBI had warned the company in “weekly” meetings prior to the 2020 presidential election to be wary of “hack-and-leak operations” involving state actors involving the first son.
“The astounding disclosure reveals for the first time how the FBI was involved in debunking the narrative of the laptop, which was in the bureau’s possession for nearly a year,” writes Devine.
She said in her column that the FBI agent who planned the meetings with Big Tech was Supervisory Special Agent Elvis Chan, who argued in his master’s thesis that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to support then-Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Republicans seized upon the Taibbi piece to accuse Big Tech, the mainstream media, and the Democratic Party of conspiring to conceal some facts, as well as the Biden family’s role in Hunter Biden’s business dealings.
Rep. James Comer, who is poised to become leader of the House Oversight Committee, stated on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that Taibbi’s investigation provides “proof that the Biden campaign cooperated with Big Tech to bury a narrative that we now know to be 100 percent accurate.”
Comer (R-Kentucky) went on to explain what he thinks to be the president’s relationship.
He stated that Hunter Biden’s laptop, which was the basis for The Post’s reporting, “provides evidence that not only did Joe Biden lie to the American people about his involvement with his family’s influence peddling and shady business dealings, but it also proves that Joe Biden was involved in those shady business dealings.”
