Judicial Watch files lawsuit against DOJ for docs on Big Tech censorship, Hunter Biden laptop story

From Fox News:

Judicial Watch has filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Justice Department for records of communications between the FBI and social media sites regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story and foreign influence in elections. 

The latest suit by the conservative watchdog group came after they say the FBI failed to respond fully to a previous FOIA request in August for all records between FBI personnel and employees of Meta, Twitter, and other Big Tech companies. 

The August request sought communications concerning Biden’s laptop, the news media’s reporting on the laptop, and “the threat of disinformation disseminated by foreign actors related to any U.S. election.” 

According to a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia earlier this month, the FBI acknowledged receipt of the original FOIA request in September but since then has provided no further information. The court filing noted the FBI had until Sept. 26 to make a final determination on whether to comply with the request, notify Judicial Watch of the agency’s decision, and produce the requested records or demonstrate that the requested records are exempt.
