Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the Biden administration didn’t work with former FBI lawyer Jim Baker on content decisions.
to stall new CEO Elon Musk’s transparency efforts, the White House’s chief spokesperson claimed Friday.
“[Was] anyone in the Biden administration… in touch with Baker either regarding moderation decisions that critics call political censorship or regarding [Musk’s] transparency efforts recently?” a reporter for The Post asked Jean-Pierre at her regular press briefing. Musk fired Baker following the conspicuous absence of communications involving the FBI from an initial batch of documents published Friday night by journalist Matt Taibbi — who was provided with the records by Musk — showing that there were early internal doubts about Twitter’s claim to censor The Post pursuant to its “hacked materials” policy.
