Revealing all of Trump’s deleted tweets to be made public by the National Archives

The National Archives building on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., which served as the former headquarters of the National Archives and Records Administration.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) confirmed Wednesday (April 7) that it is preparing to release all of former President Trump’s past tweets, including those that were permanently deleted by Twitter Inc.

Twitter suspended President Trump’s personal user account (@realDonaldTrump) on Jan. 8, following the congressional riots, and it has not returned to normal.

The National Archives and Records Administration and Twitter have worked closely together for years to keep records of government content posted on the social media giant, but a disagreement has emerged over the records of former President Trump’s personal account.

A spokesman for the National Archives and Records Administration said in a statement Wednesday, “The National Archives will provide public access to all screenshots and preserved presidential social media records, including all blocked or deleted tweets that have been transferred to us.”

However, Twitter and the National Archives and Records Administration’s archive of Trump’s Twitter history will be separate and distinct, and Twitter will still not release those deleted messages on its platform.

A Twitter spokesman said they keep records of tweets “in accordance with the appropriate laws,” but they have no intention of reactivating tweets from Trump’s Twitter account after it was frozen.

But Twitter’s move to block Trump has been unacceptable to free speech advocates from both parties, including even far-left Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

For years, Trump has communicated directly with the American people via Twitter, a move that bypasses the media and other message gates; however, his blunt tweets have also generated a lot of controversy, sometimes from within the Republican Party, but more often from the Democratic left.

Trump’s personal Twitter account had nearly 90 million followers when it was shut down.
