Today's cover: FBI pressured Twitter, sent trove of docs hours before Post broke Hunter laptop story
On Aug. 26, 2020, Chan asked a Twitter contact if anyone at the company held a Top Secret clearance “so they can get a briefing on something.” When his correspondent suggested Baker, Chan responded: “I don’t know how I forgot Baker is there now” before adding that he would be “perfect.”
On Sept. 15, FBI Foreign Influence Task Force leader Laura Dehmlow and Chan asked to give Baker a classified briefing without any other Twitter executives present. By 10:12 a.m. on Oct. 14, just over five hours after the article was published, Roth sent an internal email saying that a “consensus from experts monitoring election security and disinformation” found the piece “looks a lot like a hack-and-leak,” and recommended attaching a warning to the article as it was shared on Twitter.
The senators later claimed the meeting was “unnecessary”and was done “to falsely attack our Biden investigation as advancing Russian disinformation.”
