Rep. Jim Jordan grilled Robert Flaherty, a staffer to President Biden, after he said Elon Musk did not face 'adverse actions' after taking over Twitter.
Lawmakers grilled a top staffer on President Biden's 2024 campaign for his 'astounding' claim that Elon Musk did not face 'any adverse government actions' in response to changing the outlet's censorship policies. Robert Flaherty, deputy campaign manager for Biden's re-election campaign, was pressed by Rep.
Flaherty responded that he 'can't speak to the discussions that were had on that topic. It's been a couple of years.' Flaherty played a prominent role in working with Facebook on behalf of the Biden White House regarding the narrative on social media as it related to COVID-19, according to Facebook files reviewed by Fox in 2023.
The Biden administration's speculated involvement with social media censorship was recently brought to the Supreme Court in Murthy v. Missouri, a case charging the Biden administration with colluding with Big Tech companies to counter certain information. A decision on the case is expected in the summer. Fox News' Hillary Vaughn contributed to this report.
