CBS – Twitter has permanently suspended President Trump from the platform, citing “the risk of further incitement of violence,” the company announced late Friday. The ban follows the assault on the U.S. Capitol this week, which Mr. Trump is accused of inciting.
Mr. Trump frequently used Twitter to drive the news cycle, attack political opponents and announce policy changes. But he also used Twitter to share unfounded conspiracy theories and claims of voter fraud, which contributed to his removal from the platform.
