Donald Trump Slams ‘Corrupt’ U.S. as He Jumps on Musk’s Twitter Reveal

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday weighed in on the report about how Twitter decided to censor a New York Post story involving Hunter Biden’s laptop in the run up to the 2020 presidential election, saying that “we are living in a very corrupt country.”

On Friday, Twitter CEO Elon Musk vowed to reveal “what really happened” with the Hunter Biden laptop story “suppression” after the social media platform blocked users from sharing the newspaper’s article because it violated its distribution of hacked materials policy.

In a series of tweets dubbed the “Twitter files,” independent journalist Matt Taibbi posted a series of internal discussions at the behest of Musk, which allegedly reveal how Twitter staff “at highest levels of the company” made the decision to block the New York Post story, but without the knowledge of then-CEO Jack Dorsey.

“I think most of the mainstream media has kept off of the airwaves a discussion of gain-of-function research or the origins of the virus, but we will get to the bottom of this,” Paul said on a conference call with reporters. “It’s going to take control of committees …

“I’ve talked to Jim Jordan and others about investigating this. I think there’s a great deal of interest in investigating the origins of the virus. I’m very interested in it, but it depends on elections. Elections have consequences. We’ll have to see what happens in November.” Source: Just the News
