Exhibit 1105 ยท Social-media thread (Twitter Files)
The Twitter Files, Part Three: The Removal of Donald Trump, October 2020 - January 6th 2021 (thread, 9 December 2022)
Examining the entire election enforcement Slack, we didn't see one reference to moderation requests from the Trump campaign, the Trump White House, or Republicans generally. We looked. They may exist: we were told they do. However, they were absent here.
Sixty-five-post thread on Twitter's election-period moderation and the January 2021 suspension of Donald Trump. Post 27 states the author's search result for requests from the Trump side: none appeared in the election enforcement Slack channel, though the author says he was told some exist. The thread also shows FBI-forwarded reports of tweets, including one naming a Republican county councilor (post 24).

- Note
- Reported: internal Twitter documents as selected, screenshotted and described by the thread's author after Twitter's owner gave the writers access; no complete archive is public and the one X capture opened (Part 1) rendered as an empty shell in the Wayback Machine, so the readable copy is the Thread Reader capture linked under archive (the posts themselves were not re-opened on X). The primary documents that would replace it are the underlying emails and Slack messages, which a court, Twitter or a regulator has not produced in full.
