Sputnik spoke to Matt Taibbi, a journalist and “Twitter Files” co-author, about Twitter’s collaboration with the FBI, DHS, White House, and CIA prior to Elon Musk's purchase of the platform.

💬 “In the case of Jim Baker, who is the former general counsel of the FBI, he figures in the story in a number of places. He popped up in the first Twitter files in the furor over the Hunter Biden stories. We found emails back and forth on that first day when they blocked that New York Post exposé. And some of the people in the company were saying, “Can we do this? Like, why are we banning this?” And the excuse was "hacked materials". They knew right away that these materials were not hacked.”
