(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Former President Donald Trump reacted to the release of “The Twitter Files” platform owner Elon Musk published on Friday revealing the open collusion of Twitter with the government to censor the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop days before the 2020 election.
“A massive fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump said in his statement.
Musk released the information on the files found at Twitter via journalist Matt Taibbi, who posted a lengthy synopsis on the platform.

According to the Daily Wire, Trump responded in a post on Truth Social.
“Wow! That’s a really big story about Twitter and various forms of government Fraud including, specifically, Election Fraud,” the post reads.
“The same level of Fraud took place with the other Big Tech companies, if not even worse (if that’s possible?),” he continued. “We are living in a VERY CORRUPT COUNTRY &, AS THEY ARE SAYING ALL OVER THE INTERNET, ‘NOTHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT & FBI ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT.’”
Trump followed up by asking what happens next: either him being declared the rightful president or hosting an entirely new election.
“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump declared. “Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”
The files prove that the Biden campaign was actively involved in the censorship of the story.
“Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the [Hunter Biden] story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be ‘unsafe,’” Taibbi said. “They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.”
Taibbi also discovered that the Twitter staff justified the move by calling the laptop “hacked material,” despite the falsity of that claim.
