#shorts On 12/9/2022, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “Okay. Then on Twitter, Elon Musk this week fired the former FBI general counsel, Jim Baker, who was serving as a top Twitter lawyer. Musk alleges that he may have been involved with countermanding his attempts at transparency. And I was wondering if anyone in the Biden administration was in touch with Baker, either regarding moderation decisions that critics call “political censorship” or regarding his transparency efforts recently.

MS. Jean-Pierre: So, it’s up to private companies to make these types of decisions. We were not involved. I can say that. We were not involved. And as I’ve said several times this week already, we’ve talked — we’ve had this conversation many times in this briefing room just the past couple of days. You know, of course, it’s up to these companies to make their own decisions about the content on their platform and to ensure content flows their on standards and — on their own standards and policies. Don’t have anything more to share.

Reporter: Just very briefly on the not involved — not involved in speaking with Baker about this transparency effort by Musk. Is that what you’re saying, that the Biden administration wasn’t involved with that?

MS. Jean-Pierre: We were just — we were just not involved. Just answering your question: We were not involved.
