The FBI was in constant contact with Twitter.
Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth.
Some emails were mundane, but the majority were requests by the FBI for Twitter to take action on election ‘misinformation.’
The FBI’s social media task force swelled to 80 agents.

The FBI and DHS were regularly sending social media content to Twitter through multiple entry points, pre-flagged for moderation.
