KJP Won’t Say If Biden Campaign Spoke To Twitter In 2020 About Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal
#shorts On 12/7/2022, Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “It would have been the campaign or anyone around the family. Just wondering, because the — in the Twitter Files released and what Matt Taibbi said, he noted that, typically, the company would require a law enforcement or official finding that something was hacked in order to exercise their hacked materials clause, and that they didn’t — he didn’t see that in what had been given to him. So, I’m wondering if it was communicated, even informally, by someone around the President or the President’s family or the campaign that this was hacked material or could have come from hacked material, given that there was so much concern, especially after the 2018 foreign interference situation, that that could be something that we would see in that election. So I’m wondering if there was that communication there surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop story.
MS. Jean-Pierre: So I can’t speak to decisions made by — by the campaign from here. That is not — it is a political campaign, so I can’t speak from that from here — to that from here. I’m covered by the Hatch Act. And so I’m just not going to comment on the question that you’re asking me.
But what I can say more broadly is: Of course, it’s up to these companies to make their own decision about the content on their platforms and to ensure content follows their own standards and policies. But I’m just not going to comment on a decision that was made during the campaign.
According to the “Twitter files” released last week, Biden’s team was regularly in contact with Twitter demanding they delete tweets. The laptop story had been removed from Twitter for violation of the company’s “hacked materials” policy even though Hunter’s laptop was never hacked into! There is no evidence that a government agency told Twitter that Hunter’s laptop had been hacked.
Elon Musk last Friday evening released Twitter’s internal discussions that led to its decision to block any links exposing Hunter’s laptop story. The New York Post released damning and explosive contents from Hunter Biden’s laptop in October 2020 several days before the general election. Twitter banned The New York Post at the time for their reporting on Hunter and his dealings. The New York Post was locked out of Twitter for several weeks and every account that tweeted about Hunter’s laptop story was also banned.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to say if the Biden campaign communicated with Twitter in an effort to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story. Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked if anyone from the Biden team communicated with Twitter that the Hunter laptop story stemmed from hacked materials. Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer the question, “I can’t speak to decisions made by the campaign…I’m just not going to comment…It’s up to these companies to make…decisions about the content…and to ensure [it] follows their own standards & policies,” KJP said.
