Former Twitter executives appeared before the House Oversight 
Committee, testifying there was "no conspiracy" at the company against 
conservative voices as they discussed Twitter's response to the New 
York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story. Anika Collier Navaroli, 
Twitter's former U.S. Safety Policy Team senior expert, focused her 
remarks on the company's reluctance to censure former President Trump's 
rhetoric on the platform in the lead up to the January 6, 2021, attack 
on the U.S. Capitol, saying, "Twitter's leadership bent and broke their 
own rules in order to protect some of the most dangerous speech on the 
platform." A variety of topics were covered, including the FBI's 
involvement with Twitter, free speech protections and violations, 
combating disinformation on social media platforms, and Hunter Biden's 
involvement with the Ukrainian company Burisma.

Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI), Rep. Jamie Raskin 
(D-MD), and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) testified Justice 
Department and FBI oversight at the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee 
on the Weaponization of the Federal Government's first hearing. The 
senators claimed Democrats and the FBI discredited their joint 
investigation into the Biden family. Rep. Raskin said the committee 
itself is a form of governmental weaponization. Ms. Gabbard said 
citizens should decide for themselves what constitutes misinformation, 
citing U.S. government overreach on the matter. Legal professionals and 
two former FBI special agents testified in a second panel. Republicans 
asked about the FBI's communications with Twitter on alleged election 
misinformation and the Hunter Biden laptop story. Democrats said 
Republicans are using the subcommittee for political reasons and that 
heated rhetoric against the FBI was causing an increase of threats and 
violence against the agency's employees.
