A watchdog group that seeks to hold government officials accountable has called for an investigation into whether a recent tweet posted by the White House Twitter account was later deleted illegally.
Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT), which seeks to expose “the self-dealing and conflicts of interest, and the improper and illegal behavior of senior officials,” issued a statement on Friday demanding a probe into whether deletion of the tweet ran afoul of the Presidential Records Act (PRA), which prohibits the unauthorized destruction of government and presidential records.
