The hearing brought in former Twitter chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, former deputy general counsel James Baker, former global head of trust & safety Yoel Roth, and former safety policy team senior member Annika Collier Navaroli to testify about the platform’s decision in October 2020 to censor a bombshell New York Post report about a computer Hunter had abandoned at a Delaware repair shop, containing scores of emails and texts detailing how the Biden family enriched itself through Hunter arranging meetings between his father, formerly the vice president of the United States, and business interests around the world.
