Twitter Files reveal Trump ban came after Michelle Obama, others pressured the company

Journalist Michael Shellenberger reported Twitter faced ‘internal and external pressure,’ before banning Trump on Jan. 8

Former President Donald Trump was banned from Twitter the day after former first lady Michelle Obama and others demanded the company “permanently” remove him, according to the newest “Twitter Files” installment.

On Saturday, CEO Elon Musk and journalist Michael Shellenberger released the fourth batch of Twitter documents that show internal communications by the company’s executives between Jan. 6-8, 2021, including and shortly after the riot at the Capitol Building.

Among the files, Shellenberger reported “internal and external pressure,” including from the former first lady, fell onto the company calling for Trump to be banned from using Twitter.

“Now is the time for Silicon Valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior—and go even further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technologies from being used by the nation’s leaders to fuel insurrection,” Obama wrote in a lengthy statement posted to Twitter on Jan. 7.

  1. Democrats keep telling us how bad biden would crush Trump in another election, or how Trump couldn’t win any future election, but DO THEIR BEST to smear him, find SOMETHING to charge and convict him on, and print continuous articles about the latest “bombshell” (which ALWAYS turns out to be just another nothing burger) he will have to confront.
    Yet, we have hunter’s laptop which incriminates him AND his father in money laundering, conspiracy, and outright lies (“I never asked hunter about his business dealings and I know nothing about them”).
    MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, or CNN????
    Busy with another Trump article……
