Facebook removes video of Trump interview with daughter-in-law Lara Trump


Facebook took down a video of his daughter-in-law Lara Trump conducting an interview with former President Trump, saying that all material "in the voice of Donald Trump" will be deleted from the website.


Following the Capitol riot in January, Facebook permanently removed the former president from their website.


Lara Trump, a Fox News contributor, shared a picture of herself sitting across from her father-in-law on Instagram on Tuesday, urging followers to "Join us tonight!"


A Facebook employee sent a group of Trump officials an email warning that any material posted on Facebook and Instagram "in the voice of President Trump is not currently permitted on our sites (including new posts with President Trump speaking)" and that it "will be deleted if posted, resulting in additional limitations on accounts that posted it," and that it "will be removed if posted, resulting in additional limitations on accounts that posted it."


The email, which was shared on Instagram by Trump's son, Eric Trump, said, "This guidance extends to all campaign accounts and Pages, including Team Trump, other campaign messaging vehicles on our platforms, and former surrogates."


Lara Trump's Facebook page eventually posted the interview, but it was later removed.


In an email to her with the subject line "Content Removal," a Facebook employee wrote, "Hi folks."


The Facebook employee said, "We're reaching out to let you know that we removed material from Lara Trump's Facebook Page that featured President Trump speaking." "Further material posted in the voice of Donald Trump will be deleted, resulting in additional limits on the accounts, in line with the block we put on his Facebook and Instagram accounts."



The email was shared on Instagram by Lara Trump.

To Fox News, a source close to the situation verified the messages' authenticity.


Fox News reached out to Facebook for comment, but the company did not immediately respond.


Following the riot in the US Capitol on Jan. 6, Facebook moved to block Trump "indefinitely," with CEO Mark Zuckerberg claiming that "the risks of allowing the President to continue to use our service during this time are simply too high."


Following the riot, Trump was indefinitely barred from Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and YouTube.


Trump senior adviser Jason Miller, on the other hand, said earlier this month that Trump would return.


"I assume we'll see President Trump return to social media in potentially two or three months here, on his own website," Miller said earlier this month on Fox News' "#MediaBuzz." "And I believe this will be the hottest ticket in social media; it will totally redefine the game, and everyone will be waiting and watching to see exactly what President Trump does."


Miller said he couldn't go into detail, but he did say that Trump had been holding "high-powered meetings" with various teams about the venture at Mar-a-Lago, and that "numerous firms" had approached him.


"This new platform is going to be huge," Miller predicted, predicting Trump would attract "tens of millions of people."

Do you read tweets, Facebook messages, or the instructions on your instant oatmeal packet on a daily basis? If you're one of the many people who don't make it a habit to read on a regular basis, you're missing out: reading has a slew of advantages, and only a few of them are listed below. 1. Mental Stimulation Since keeping the brain active and activated prevents it from losing control, studies have shown that remaining mentally stimulated can delay (or even prevent) the progression of Alzheimer's and Dementia. The brain, like every other muscle in the body, needs exercise to stay strong and safe, so the term "use it or lose it" applies especially well to your mind. Puzzles and games like chess have also been found to be beneficial in terms of cognitive enhancement. 2. Stress Reduction No matter how much tension you're under at...

  Filipinos deserve a leader who will defend the country’s sovereignty —Carpio Retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio slammed President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday after the chief executive appeared to blame him and former Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert del Rosario for China's occupation of some West Philippine Sea features. On Wednesday night, Duterte used his weekly address to the nation to question Carpio and del Rosario about why the country "lost territory" in the West Philippine Sea during their tenure, particularly after the 2012 standoff between Philippine and Chinese vessels in the Scarborough Shoal. Carpio stated in a statement that he was not a member of the Executive Department, which determines foreign policy, in 2012. Carpio, a Supreme Court magistrate at the time, had recommended that China be taken to arbitration over its massive claims in the South China Sea, including areas Manila refers to as the West Philippine Sea. “In January 2013, the Aquin...
