Trump to investigate Biden censorship
Donald Trump issued two executive orders in his first hours back in office - that will launch investigations into Joe Biden's White House - over institutional censorship and weaponization of law enforcement.
The president signed at least 78 bills on Monday overturning various declarations and orders enacted by his predecessor.
Hours after he was sworn back in, Trump ordered that no federal officer, employee or agent may unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen, an early step toward his campaign promise to dismantle what he called government 'censorship' of U.S. citizens.
The president´s executive order comes after Trump and his supporters have accused the federal government of pressuring social media companies to take down lawful posts over concerns around misinformation.
The order also instructs the attorney general, in consultation with other executive agency heads, to investigate how federal government actions over the four years of the Biden administration could have infringed on free speech and propose 'remedial actions' based on the findings.
Trump´s order, which he signed onstage at Capital One Arena along with a slate of other executive actions, shows how motivated he is to crack down on what he calls the 'censorship cartel' on his first day in office.

The Biden administration appeared to be trying to thwart the First Amendment rights of US citizens. They apparently did this to protect their agenda and ignore the Constitution.
