The Twitter Files, Part Six: Twitter, the FBI Subsidiary (thread, 16 December 2022)

Between January 2020 and November 2022, there were over 150 emails between the FBI and former Twitter Trust and Safety chief Yoel Roth.

Forty-five-post thread. It says there were over 150 emails between the FBI and Twitter's Trust and Safety chief between January 2020 and November 2022, and that a 'surprisingly high number' were FBI requests that Twitter act on election misinformation. It shows an FBI San Francisco notice of four accounts (November 2022), a list from the FBI National Election Command Post (5 November 2022), a Twitter attorney's 16 September 2022 note on a weekly meeting with DHS, DOJ, FBI and ODNI, and states that state governments, CISA-linked portals and a Stanford project also sent reports (posts 36 to 43). Post 40 shows California officials alerting Twitter, through a partner support portal, to a tweet by Donald Trump.

Note
Reported: internal Twitter documents as selected, screenshotted and described by the thread's author after Twitter's owner gave the writers access; no complete archive is public and the one X capture opened (Part 1) rendered as an empty shell in the Wayback Machine, so the readable copy is the Thread Reader capture linked under archive (the posts themselves were not re-opened on X). The primary documents that would replace it are the underlying emails and Slack messages, which a court, Twitter or a regulator has not produced in full.
