The Federal Election Commission began investigating whether Joe Biden's 2020 campaign improperly colluded with Big Tech and intelligence experts to suppress accurate stories about Hunter Biden's laptop weeks before ex-spy Michael Morell's bombshell revelation that he worked with the campaign to organize a letter that falsely portrayed the laptop as a Russian intelligence dirty trick.
The FEC's investigation was confirmed in a March 29 letter to Timothy Parlatore, a lawyer for former President Donald Trump who filed a complaint alleging the letter and Twitter's and Facebook's suppression of the laptop story in October 2020 amounted to an illegal "in-kind contribution" to Biden's campaign.
"You will be notified as soon as the Federal Election Commission (FEC) takes final action on your complaint," the federal election law regulator wrote Parlatore in the letter, which assigned his complaint an official Matter Under Review case number to open an investigation.
