Republican-Led U.S. House Panel Probes Twitter Block Of Hunter Biden Story | English News LIVE

Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives sought to deliver on a campaign promise to their most hardline supporters on Wednesday (February 8), with a public hearing on a laptop computer said to belong to Democratic President Joe Biden's businessman son, Hunter.

Even before the proceedings began, the White House denounced the hearing as "a bizarre political stunt" motivated by denial of Biden's 2020 election victory over Republican former President Donald Trump. Trump continues to claim falsely that his defeat was the result of fraud.

A day after Biden offered to work with Republicans on some of the nation's toughest problems in his State of the Union address, the House Oversight Committee heard former Twitter executives testify under subpoena about the social media platform's efforts to limit discussion of the laptop's alleged contents two weeks ahead of the 2020 election.
