Social media giants Facebook and Instagram have deleted Donald Trump’s interview with his daughter-in-law Lara Lea, in which he made a series of ‘unsubstantiated’ accusations against the media.
According to reports, the social media giants sent an email to Lara saying the video had been blocked because he is still banned from the platforms and the clip ‘featured President Trump speaking’ and the ‘voice of Donald Trump.’
In the said interview, former president, Trump accused the social media and the mainstream media for suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.
He criticised President Biden’s green agenda and railed against cancel culture which he said obliterates US culture.

Trump also spoke about running in 2024 although he declined to provide further details.
Facebook emailed Lara’s team before the video was uploaded, warning them that it would be removed.
At 9.51pm on Tuesday night, they emailed again to say that they’d taken it down.
Lara shared screenshots of the emails on Instagram afterward. ‘And just like that, we are one step closer to Orwell’s 1984. Wow,’ she wrote alongside them.
Trump has been banned from Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram since the January 6 riots, cut off from his supporters, and unable to get messages to them as he did before.
His interview with Lara is the first time he has been seen on camera since he left office. Until now, he has been phoning into FOX News to share his opinions.
