Twitter will not put former President Donald Trump’s tweets back on its platform, the company said this week, making it more difficult for the National Archives (NARA) to archive the missives Trump sent when he was commander-in-chief.

“Given that we permanently suspended @realDonaldTrump, the content from the account will not appear on Twitter as it did previously or as archived administration accounts do currently, regardless of how NARA decides to display the data it has preserved,” a Twitter spokesperson told news outlets in a statement.
