House Committee Sets Date for Hearing on Twitter’s Censorship of Hunter Biden Laptop StoryAllum Bokhari 11 Jan 2023
The House Oversight Committee has summoned former Twitter executives to testify at a hearing in early February regarding the platform’s decision to censor the Hunter Biden “laptop from hell” story.
Shortly before the 2020 presidential election, Twitter blocked the distribution of the articles, published by the New York Post, which linked President Biden to his son’s foreign business relationships, ahead of the 2020 election, citing a “hacked materials” policy without providing any evidence.
The new committee chairman, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), wrote that the hearing will examine the decision to suppress the story made by ormer Twitter officials Vijaya Gadde, Yoel Roth, and James Baker, and called on all three to testify before the committee.
Comer gave the three former executives until January 18 to respond.
Gadde, the former policy director, was fired by new Twitter owner Elon Musk in October. Roth, the former director of trust and safety, resigned in November.
Baker, a former attorney and general counsel for the FBI, was fired by Musk in December for allegedly obstructing his efforts to publish what has become known as the “Twitter Files” — internal documents and emails revealing the inner workings of the platform’s censorship decisions.
