Republican members of the House Judiciary Committee said they expected their looming probe of politicization at the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation to include a look under the hood at Meta.

The company formerly known as Facebook is facing growing questions about its relationship with the FBI during the period leading up to their suppression of The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden in October 2020.

“The Judiciary Committee of the next Congress should probe the politicization of our intelligence community — especially the influence and infiltration of Twitter, Facebook and other technology and social media companies,” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) told The Post.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), another member of the committee, added that “the national security state’s operation against ‘We the People’ is happening across many platforms.”

The increased scrutiny comes as the trove of internal documents Twitter owner Elon Musk released to independent journalists showed an apparently close working relationship between the FBI and the social media company in the months prior to The Post’s reporting into Hunter Biden’s abandoned hard drive.

Like Twitter, Facebook also suppressed The Post’s Hunter Biden coverage after it was published. And like Twitter, Facebook was approached by the FBI in the run-up to the 2020 election. Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg made the disclosure in August during an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan and said the FBI warned the company of a potential drop of “Russian propaganda.”

Both Twitter and Facebook stocked their companies with former G-men and women, a trend, which appears to have begun after the 2016 election.

Meta’s top policy manager for “misinformation,” Aaron Berman, is a former CIA senior analytics manager who spent 17 years with the agency, from March 2002 to July 2019 — at one point writing the president’s daily briefings.

He was publicly friendly with his counterpart at Twitter Yoel Roth — and the two occasionally interacted on the site. Roth still follows him there. Both men were also Democratic donors, Federal Election Commission records show.

On his LinkedIn, Berman said he was focused on “making online spaces safe and constructive for societies,” and that his work at Facebook involved “strategic policy work to ensure policies appropriately balance countering harm with fostering free expression.”

Steve Friend, a former FBI agent turned whistleblower said the broader leftward tilt of middle and upper management at the bureau and other intelligence agencies had become pronounced.

“There is this belief that half the country are domestic terrorists and we can’t have a conversation with them,” Friend said. “There is a fundamental belief that unless you are voicing what we agree, there is an understanding that you are the enemy.”
