(News Punch) Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey faces a minimum five year prison sentence for lying to Congress about Twitter’s practise of shadow-banning conservatives and independent voices.

“The Twitter Files reveal that former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey may have committed perjury. He told Congress under oath that Twitter was not shadow-banning conservatives. Twitter was. He should be investigated by @JudiciaryGOP and @GOPoversight.”
