FBI’s Chief Censor Made False Statements Under Oath About Hunter Biden Laptop Suppression, Jim Jordan Reveals

FBI Special Agent Elvis Chan appeared to make false statements under oath about the Bureau’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan revealed Monday.

Chan was the primary conduit between the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and social media platforms leading up to the 2020 presidential election, and he appears to have lied about his meetings with tech companies regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story, according to new documents from Jordan.

“Internal FB docs reveal that an FBI Special Agent made false statements in testimony about the FBI’s role in the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story,” Jordan tweeted Monday. (RELATED: Meta Wanted To Create ’24/7 Channel’ To Censor Posts On Behalf Of Ukrainian Intel, House Report Finds)

Chan and current FITF Section Chief Laura Dehmlow met with Facebook on Oct. 14, 2020, to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story from the New York Post, Dehmlow testified in July to the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.

When Facebook representatives asked if Biden’s laptop contents were real, the FBI said “no comment” because an unknown FBI official instructed them to do so during internal deliberations, Dehmlow testified. The FBI and the FITF knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was real prior to the New York Post’s reporting, Jordan tweeted.

“Did Dehmlow know that the FBI had the laptop and it was real? Yes. Did other key members of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force know? Yes. The FBI knew the laptop was real and yet decided it would say ‘no comment.'” Jordan said.

Chan testified in November 2022 as part of the Missouri vs. Biden censorship lawsuit filed by Republican Attorneys General from Missouri and Louisiana. He recalled the FITF’s meeting with Facebook and said he was “confident” that he did not participate in any...

Massachusetts bans Catholic couple from fostering children due to beliefs on gender, sexuality, lawsuit claims

MA requires foster parents to respect 'a child's sexual orientation or gender identity'

A devout Catholic couple claims that Massachusetts banned them from participating in the state foster care system due to their religious beliefs.

In a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday by religious liberty group Becket Law, Mike and Catherine "Kitty" Burke specifically claim the state restricted them from fostering children in the state due to their adherence to Catholic teachings on gender, sexuality and marriage.

"After months of interviews and training, and after years of heartbreak, we were on the verge of finally becoming parents," the couple said in a statement. "We were absolutely devastated to learn that Massachusetts would rather children sleep in the hallways of hospitals than let us welcome children in need into our home."

The lawsuit claims that the state listed only one reason for denying the Burke's foster application, which was that they "would not be affirming to a child who identified as LGBTQIA."

"As faithful Catholics, the Burkes believe that all children should be loved and supported, and they would never reject a child placed in their home. They also believe that children should not undergo procedures that attempt to change their God-given sex, and they uphold Catholic beliefs about marriage and sexuality," the lawsuit continues.

The lawsuit names Massachusets Health and Human Services Secretary Kate Walsh, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families Linda Spears, and others as defendants.

The lawsuit includes a copy of the letter the Burkes received notifying them that their application to be foster parents was denied.

"In order to be licensed as a foster/adoptive parent, a foster/pre-adoptive parent applicant must meet the following requirements: (1) A foster/pre-adoptive parent applicant must demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Department the ability: (d) to promote the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of a child placed in his or her care, including supporting and respecting a child's sexual orientation or gender identity; (e) to respect and make efforts to support the integrity of a child's racial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural and religious background," the letter reads, quoting the state regulations for Standards for Licensure as a Foster/Pre-adoptive Parent.

Becket filed the lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.

In addition, The CF Foster Child Bill of Rights states that every child "shall be...
