I'm holding the receipt from max computer repair wherein December 2019 they turned over this laptop to the FBI and what now you're telling me right here is that as the assistant director of FBI cyber you don't know where this is after it was turned over to you three years ago.

FBI Cyber Chief: Yes sir that's an accurate statement

Matt: How are Americans supposed to trust that you can protect us from the next colonial pipeline if it seems that you can't locate a laptop that was given to you three years ago from the first family potentially creating vulnerabilities for our country.

FBI Cyber Chief: Sir we have multiple lines of investigative responsibility in the FBI they're all available in public sources.

FBI Cyber Chief: Sir, again we can do this back and forth for the next couple of minutes I don't have any information about the hunter Biden laptop.
