Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed an FBI agent accused of coordinating suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story after the Justice Department prevented the agent from appearing for a transcribed interview with lawmakers. 

Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, issued a subpoena on Friday to Elvis Chan, an FBI agent based in San Francisco, who House Republicans say was “the main conduit” between the bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force and Big Tech companies to suppress the story of Hunter’s scandalous laptop in the weeks before the 2020 presidential election.

“The Committee on the Judiciary is conducting oversight of how and to what extent the Executive Branch has coerced and colluded with companies and other intermediaries to censor speech,” Jordan said in a letter to Chan. “As the primary liaison between the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and social media companies, you are uniquely positioned to aid the Committee’s oversight.”

Chan previously told lawmakers that the FBI had not communicated with Facebook outside of a meeting that occurred the same day the New York Post published the Biden laptop article on October 14, 2020. But according to the Jordan, Chan was involved in a “secret ‘follow up’ call” with the social media giant the next day, allegedly contradicting a claim he made during a November 2022 deposition in the government censorship case Missouri v. Biden.

The federal agent also spoke with a Facebook employee that same day, who said, “Chan advised that he was up to speed on the current state of the matter within the FBI.” Chan also told the social media platform that “there was no current evidence to suggest any foreign connection … of the leaks,” according to the documents released by Jordan.

In the letter, Jordan referenced the increasing evidence showing coordination between the White House and social media companies to suppress conservative content, outside of the Post’s story on Hunter’s laptop.

“Numerous documents that have been made publicly available reflect the weaponization of the federal government’s power to censor speech online directly and by proxy. It is necessary for Congress to gauge the extent to which FBI agents coerced, pressured, worked with, or relied upon social media and other tech companies to censor speech,” Jordan wrote. 

Documents released by Congress last month show that a White House official asked Facebook to promote legacy outlets and stifle The Daily Wire’s reach in order to accomplish the administration’s directives on suppressing content that clashed with its COVID vaccine agenda. 

It seems Steven Avery himself, from behind bars, may be directing supporters to tank the Rotten Tomatoes’ audience review score of Daily Wire host Candace Owens’ docuseries “Convicting a Murderer” (CAM).

Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, were convicted of murdering photographer Teresa Halbach back in 2007. The pair are featured in Netflix’s limited series “Making a Murderer” (MAM), garnering attention from celebrities and others online contending Avery is innocent. Owens’ “CAM” tells the other side of the Avery case, specifically sharing information omitted or arguably manipulated within “MAM.”

“IMPORTANT: Steven is asking for all his supporters to flood Rotten Tomatoes and give ‘Convicting a Murderer’ a bad review,” reads a post on the Facebook group called “Steven Avery is INNOCENT.” “This garbage and vitriol is NOT TRUE and we need our community to step up and let Candance [sic] Owens know that STEVEN AVERY IS INNOCENT!”

The Facebook post, issued by the group’s administrator on Friday night, then links to the Rotten Tomatoes review page of “CAM.” It also tags “everyone” in the group, meaning the 36,200-plus members of the group would get a notification about the post.

Before the post, “CAM” was boasting an average review score in the 90s, but is now seeing a drop in that score, down to a 73% score by Saturday afternoon. Notably, it was just hours after this Facebook post was issued that “CAM” was flooded with bad reviews.

The “Steven Avery is INNOCENT” Facebook group routinely claims to have contact with Avery from prison. In numerous posts, random supporters of Avery are awarded a prize supposedly from Avery himself. One “top contributor” of the group is a woman named Sandy Greenman; she’s Avery’s ex-girlfriend and told Newsweek in 2020 that she speaks to the convict nearly every day. Greenman also posts photos of herself visiting Avery in prison. Moreover, in an apparent recording of Avery from March, the convict talks about being relayed everyone’s messages on his “site;” the “Steven Avery is INNOCENT” Facebook group has claimed credit here, suggesting Avery is referring to their Facebook group.

Additionally, it seems Avery is well aware of The Daily Wire’s “CAM” docuseries, seemingly telling supporters in an online recording, which was posted four months ago, to refrain from watching the “garbage” content.

In the recording, Avery says his brother Chuck has mentioned “this new documentary,” seemingly referring to “CAM,” and states, “nobody should watch that. … It’s garbage, straight up garbage, there’s a whole bunch of lies.”
