The donations are just the tip of the iceberg. Federal Election Commission records reveal that top executives at the big tech companies made several large donations to the Biden campaign, while there was no record of them donating to the Trump campaign.
The legal maximum amount to donate is $2,800. Numerous executives donated the maximum amount to the Biden campaign, including Facebook vice president of public policy, Erin Egan, Facebook chief revenue officer David Fischer, Facebook’s chief financial officer, David Wehner, Facebook vice presidents Gene Alston, Michael Verdu, Shahriar Rabii and T.S. Khurana and Instagram’s chief operating officer, Marne Levine.
A number of of Facebook and Twitter employees also donated the maximum amount.
The social media giants have been under fire recently for accusations of censorship. Earlier this week, Twitter prevented users from sharing tweets by President Donald Trump. Trump has also accused the tech companies of suppressing the circulation of news stories that expose the alleged Hunter Biden scandals.
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog group noted that Google and YouTube “under false and non-sensical pretenses, double down on election intervention and political censorship against @RealDonaldTrump to help Joe Biden – the after President Trump officially threatens to veto over section 230 reform.”
GOP members of the House Oversight Committee are demanding a hearing to investigate Twitter and Facebook’s “unjustifiable censorship” of the New York Post’s reporting on Biden’s foreign business dealings.
“Reporting indicates this investigation is related to his overseas business dealings,” the GOP members wrote in a new letter obtained by Fox News. “In light of Hunter Biden’s admission that he is under investigation, especially after Big Tech’s unjustifiable censorship of the New York Post’s report, we are renewing our hearing request.”

Trump, Rep Biggs: invoking the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation will ‘be necessary’
At a recent rally in Iowa, former President Donald Trump promised that if elected again in 2024, he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act to enable widespread deportation of migrants who have illegally entered the United States. Since President Joe Biden took office in January of 2021, over 6 million people have illegally entered the country.
Republican Representative Andy Biggs from border state Arizona, which is among the states suffering the greatest consequences from the Biden administration policies, lamented that Trump’s suggestion will be “necessary.”
Speaking on the “Just the News, No Noise” television show, Biggs stated “[I]t’s actually gonna have to be necessary.” Biggs then added his thoughts on how many more people will continue to cross the border under Biden: “Because by the time Trump gets back in office, you will have had over 10 million, in my opinion, over 10 million illegal aliens cross our border and come into the country, under the Biden regime.”
“And so when you start deporting people, and removing them from this country, what that does is that disincentivizes the tens of thousands of people who are coming,” Biggs went on. “And by the way, everyday down in Darién Gap, which is in Panama… over 5,000 people a day. [I] talk[ed] to one of my sources from the gap today. And I will just tell you, those people that you’ve seen come come in to Eagle Pass, over 7,000 in a three day period, most of those two weeks ago, were down crossing into the Darién Gap.”
“And those people… make their way up and they end up in the Eagle Pass [Texas], Del Rio area,” he continued. “So if you want to disincentivize them, you remove them from the country, which is why they remain in Mexico policy was so doggone effective at slowing down illegal border crossings.”
