Republican lawmakers have requested the heads of Twitter and Facebook to appear before the U.S. Senate to testify on their company’s decision to censor a New York Post article that alleges a direct link between Joe Biden and his son’s business dealings.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) reportedly sent a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, inviting them to testify before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism in a hearing called “Digital Platforms and Election Interference.”
Lawmakers are investigating whether Facebook and Twitter violated federal election law by suppressing the distribution of the New York Post story, according to The Blaze.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and committee member Ted Cruz (R-Texas) also announced Thursday that the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Tuesday to serve Dorsey a subpoena to testify the following Friday. Cruz characterized Twitter’s actions as “election interference. The Post’s story reveals an email from 2015 that appears to show an adviser to a Ukrainian natural gas company, thanking Hunter Biden for setting up a meeting with his father.
