However, the entire social media site was quickly brought back online.

CityNews Nigeria recalls that Twitter yesterday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign’s account after it posted a video about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son that it said violated its rules.

The video referred to a New York Post story from Wednesday that contained alleged details of Hunter Biden’s business dealings with a Ukrainian energy company and said the former vice president had met with an adviser of the company.
