Debate Over Hunter Biden’s Nudes Now Part Of The Congressional Record – By Matt Shuham (Huffpost) / Feb 8, 2023
“These are just web addresses. I don’t know what’s in these tweets!” one Republican congressman protested.
A debate over links to nude photos of the president’s son Hunter Biden is now part of the congressional record, thanks to a Republican congressman grilling former Twitter executives about supposedly politically motivated censorship at the social media site.
Twitter removed links to the photos of Hunter Biden after then-candidate Joe Biden’s campaign flagged them to the company, according to the “Twitter Files,” new Twitter owner Elon Musk’s effort to release internal company documents to select journalists.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) displayed the web addresses for the photos on a large poster board as he questioned former Twitter executives during a hearing of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday. The hearing was part of Republicans’ efforts to use their new House majority to muscle the Biden family and “big tech.”
Donalds grilled the witnesses about the back-and-forth between Democratic campaign officials and Twitter corporate, including an email that featured a list of tweets and the note, “More to review from the Biden team.” One witness noted that the links being discussed went to nude photos of the president’s son.
