The social media company X said on Sept. 26 that it suspended an independent reporter because he posted a document that included the private information of Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the running mate of Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump.

X said in a statement that Ken Klippenstein, the reporter, has been temporarily suspended.
