On Thursday, Twitter unblocked Donald Trump’s Twitter election campaign account after the social media campaign temporarily restricted it saying a video from the account about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son violated its rules.
The video posted by the @TeamTrump account referred to a New York Post story from Wednesday that contained alleged details of Hunter Biden’s business dealings with a Ukrainian energy company and said the former vice president had met with an adviser of the company.
The Trump campaign, said in a new tweet it was “re-posting the video Twitter doesn’t want you to watch.” Twitter did not respond to a request for a comment about why the account had been unblocked.
The video was captioned as “Joe Biden is a liar who has been ripping off our country for years.”
Twitter said earlier the video violated its rules against posting private information, adding the account may need to delete the post in order to continue tweeting.
When asked about the move by Twitter Trump said: “It’s going to all end up in a big lawsuit and there are things that can happen that are very severe that I’d rather not see happen, but it’s probably going to have to.”
Twitter said on Wednesday the Post story violated its hacked materials policy, which bars the distribution of content obtained through hacking that contains private information or trade secrets, or puts people at risk of physical harm.
