The White House has broken its silence on Elon Musk’s stunning release of internal Twitter communications that shed light on the inner workings of the platform’s censorship machine ahead of the 2020 presidential election, including its suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at a press conference on Monday downplayed Musk’s disclosure of the so-called “Twitter Files” as “full of old news” and dismissed the revelations as a “distraction” at a time when she said there’s a “rising volume of anger, hate, and antisemitism” on Twitter.
