โThese allegations are explosive,โ Josh Hawley said. โThe public deserves to hear every single detail, and theyโre going to hear it on Wednesday.โ
The Missouri senator was remarking about one of the presidentโs billionaire supportersย Monday during aย Fox Newsย appearance on โThe Will Cain Show.โ
โI’ve had Mark Zuckerberg testify in front of me many times, and he has said over and over that they never work with China, they’ve never made any concessions to Chinese Communist Party, they would never censor, etcetera, etcetera. By the way, we know all that’s false,โ Hawley said. “They’ve censored right here in the United States โ theย Hunter Biden laptopย story, I mean hello โ and now as it turns out, they were working hand in glove with the CCP.โ
Hawley chairs the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism. He notified Zuckerberg that he could face criminal charges.
โIf he’s committed perjury, Congress has access that we can take, we can hold him in contempt of Congress, we can refer him to the Department of Justice forย investigationย and prosecution โ that I just want to emphasize โ our investigation is just beginning,โ Hawley said.
Hawley said that what was โreally astoundingโ to him was Facebookโs reported work with Beijing to โbuild censorship toolsโ that he said could be used against American users. This includes facial recognition implementations, a โspecial kill switchโ to suppress news, and other mechanisms he said would allow the social media giant to โtrack dissidents.โ
โThis is incredible stuff,โ he said. โAll of it has been denied by Facebook, and that is what is so explosive here. It appears that Facebook has been lying to the public and lying to Congress for years now.”
โWeโre going to get the truth on Wednesday,โ Hawley concluded, adding that the whistleblower is cooperating fully with his committee.
โWe are going do a full-scale investigation, and I can tell you, as a prosecutor, we will follow the facts wherever they go, and we will give the truth, and we will make it to available to the American people,โ he said.
Zuckerberg told us that he didn’t work with China & that he’d never censor
But we know that’s falseโlook no further than Hunter Biden’s laptop
