A Trump-era Pentagon official believes that the amount the FBI actually paid to Twitter to “censor free speech” is ten times higher than the $3.5 million that was revealed in a recent installment of the Twitter Files and that lawmakers in Congress should “keep digging” to uncover hidden ties between government and Big Tech.

Kash Patel, who served as the Pentagon’s chief of staff to Acting Defence Secretary Christopher Miller under the administration of then President Donald Trump, said on a recent episode of Epoch TV’s “Kash’s Corner” that the latest Twitter Files disclosures paint a picture of a “shocking level of government overreach and abuse.”
