Exhibit 1143 ยท News report
Trump White House asked Twitter to take down Chrissy Teigen's mean tweet about him (Engadget, 8 February 2023)
reached out to ask that this tweet be removed
Reports that a former Twitter senior safety-policy member testified at the 8 February 2023 House Oversight hearing that in 2019 someone from the Trump White House asked Twitter to remove a tweet by Chrissy Teigen insulting the president, that her team judged whether it violated the insults policy, and that it did not and stayed up. The only record held is this report; it also reports her testimony that Twitter removed a moderation-guidance example after a Trump tweet used similar words.

- Note
- Reported: replace with the Committee's transcript or video of the 8 February 2023 hearing (Navaroli's answer to Rep. Connolly). Navaroli's written statement was read and does not mention the Teigen request. The thread Twitter Files #16 says the press covered the request while ignoring the Schiff and King requests; that is the author's comparison.
