Elon Musk to release details on Twitter's suppression of Hunter Biden story
Fox News correspondent Kelly O'Grady has the latest on Elon Musk's bombshell on Twitter's handling of the Hunter Biden story on 'Your World.'
Twitter owner Elon Musk teased that "what really happened with the Hunter Biden story" and its suppression by the social media giant in 2020 would be revealed Friday afternoon.
"What really happened with the Hunter Biden story suppression by Twitter will be published on Twitter at 5pm ET!" he wrote, in a tweet that went viral immediately.
"This will be awesome," he added, including a popcorn emoji, and promising it would include a live Q&A.

Twitter even locked the tabloid out of its Twitter account over the story, which it claimed at the time was because it violated its "hacked materials" policy. Since then, multiple top Twitter officials, including former CEO Jack Dorsey and ex-safety chief Yoel Roth, have admitted the company made a mistake.
The Post's story at the time shed light on the younger Biden's overseas business dealings and revealed an email that appeared to show a Ukrainian businessman thanking him for giving him a meeting with his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, in 2015.

Widely dismissed by liberal media outlets as Russian disinformation and a hoax at the time, the laptop has since been authenticated by numerous mainstream publications. It is also part of a federal investigation into Hunter Biden's tax affairs and business dealings.
