The Federal Trade Commission demanded that the Elon Musk-owned Twitter turn over internal communications detailing the billionaire's purchase and which journalists were given access to internal records, according to newly released documents.
The FTC sent a series of 12 letters to Twitter asking for internal communications regarding Musk and the journalists involved with the Twitter Files, according to an interim report released Tuesday by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which is controlled by the Republican House majority.
The letters made more than 350 demands of the company, which the Republicans alleged were driven by a partisan agenda on the part of FTC Chairwoman Lina Khan.
