Twitter said it had locked Trump out of his account for posting tweets that it said violated its policies.
President Donald Trump shared his first message on Twitter since being locked out of his account following Wednesday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol. Trump shared a video message that was as close to a concession speech as the public has heard from him, acknowledging a new administration would soon take over and urging calm. Trump said he had pursued « every legal avenue to contest the election results » with the sole purpose of ensuring the integrity of the election. While he said he believes election laws must be reformed, he recognized Congress had certified the results and that there would be a transition of power. « Now tempers must be cooled, and calm restored. We must get on with the business of America, » Trump said. « A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation.
