WASHINGTON (WBAP/KLIF) – Republicans are fuming that two of the most-used social media networks in the U-S actively stopped people from sharing an article appearing in the New York Post newspaper alleging discovered e-mails showed Hunter Biden arranging meetings between his father, then Vice-President, and officials at Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Both Twitter and Facebook suspended accounts of users sharing the information, and blocked others from being able to post the link from the Post’s web site.
President Donald Trump’s campaign has seized on the tabloid story offering bizarre twists to a familiar line of attack: Biden’s relationship with Ukraine. But the story in the New York Post raises more questions than answers, including about the authenticity of an email at the center of the story.
The origins of the story also trace back to Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has repeatedly pushed unfounded claims about Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Even if the emails in the Post are legitimate, they don’t validate Trump and Giuliani’s claims that Biden’s actions were influenced by his son’s business dealings in Ukraine.
