House intelligence committee staff lobbied Twitter to ban Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry from the platform, internal emails released as the latest installment of the “Twitter Files” show.
An aide on the panel led by Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat, accused Mr. Sperry and Greg Rubini, an author popular among QAnon conspiracy theorists, in a November 2020 email to Twitter of promoting false conspiracy theories and harassing committee staff.
The email included a list of requests for the platform’s content moderation team, including removing “any and all” content about the committee staff and suspending the two men’s accounts.
