Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-Texas) engaged in a heated discussion with lawmakers as she tried to get “Twitter Files” journalist Matt Taibbi to reveal a source during a Thursday congressional hearing.
The Democrat lawmaker asked Taibbi about whether Twitter owner Elon Musk asked him to partake in the reporting on internal Twitter communications and the firm’s communications with federal officials. GOP House lawmakers called on Taibbi and fellow “Twitter Files” journalist Michael Shellenberger, who released lengthy threads on the communications, which some analysts say show evidence of collusion between former Twitter managers, the federal government, and left-wing organizations.
