WASHINGTON The disclosures made by new Twitter owner Elon Musk about content moderation on the social network, particularly its handling of news about Hunter Biden before the 2020 election, have added fuel to the fire for House Republicans eager to investigate the company when they take the majority in January.
Mr. Musk purchased the social network in October and has recently been working with journalists to distribute internal documents that dealt with the platform s decision to temporarily curb sharing of New York Post articles about President Biden s son, Hunter Biden, shortly before the 2020 election, as well as Twitter s decision to remove then-President Donald Trump from the platform two days after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
