House Republicans, led by Rep. Jim_Jordan, want Twitter's board of directors to preserve its records of ElonMusk's offer to purchase Twitter, including the board's consideration of the approval and its evaluation of shareholder interests.
GOP members of the House Judiciary Committee filed preservation notices to every member of Twitter's board of directors on Friday in preparation for an investigation into Twitter if they determine that any rejection of Musk's offer breached the board's fiduciary duty.
The letter instructed Twitter's board to"take all reasonable steps to prevent the destruction or alteration, whether intentionally or negligently, of all documents, communications, and other information, including electronic information and metadata, that is or may be potentially responsive to this congressional inquiry." This documentation includes messages on official and personal accounts and records created via text messages, apps like WhatsApp, or encrypted apps like Telegram.
