Three former Twitter executives are testifying Wednesday at the House Oversight Committee over Twitter's decision to temporarily suppress a New York Post story regarding Hunter Biden's laptop.
The testimony comes in the first high-profile hearing for the new Republican majority investigating President Joe Biden's administration and family.
Musk himself has suggested that the internal communications released as part of his so-called"Twitter files" show government censorship, suggesting Twitter acted"under orders from the government" when it suppressed the laptop story. The"Twitter files" have fueled Comer's belief that the government may have been involved in the suppression of the story.
CNN has previously reported, however, that allegations the FBI told Twitter to suppress the story are unsupported, and a half-dozen tech executives and senior staff, along with multiple federal officials familiar with the matter, all denied any such directive was given in interviews with CNN. "The majority has called a hearing to revisit a two-year-old story about a private editorial decision by Twitter not to allow links to a single New York Post article made for a two-day period that had no discernible influence on anyone or anything" Raskin said."Instead of letting this trivial pursuit go, my colleagues have tried to whip up a faux scandal about this two-day lapse in their ability to spread Hunter Biden propaganda on a private media platform.
"It isn't obvious what the right response is to a suspected but not confirmed cyberattack by another government on a presidential election," Roth said in his opening statement."I believe Twitter erred in this case because we wanted to avoid repeating the mistakes of 2016." Greene's account was suspended last January for repeated violations of Twitter's Covid-19 misinformation policy, the company said at the time. Her account was restored in November after Musk purchased Twitter.
