Twitter suspended the Trump campaign’s account on Thursday for attempting to tweet out a video calling Joe Biden a “liar” and citing leaked emails revealing high-dollar negotiations between his son Hunter Biden and foreign companies.
The Trump campaign’s Twitter account, @TeamTrump, attempted to tweet a video to its 2.2 million followers on Wednesday along with the caption, “Joe Biden is a liar who has been ripping off our country for years.”
Mike Hahn, the Trump campaign’s director of social media, tweeted a screenshot of Twitter’s message reading, “Your account has been locked” and citing the tweet which Twitter said “violated out rules against posting private information.”
“You may not publish or post other people’s private information without their express authorization and permission,” Twitter’s message read.
