The X platform was criticized heavily after the company temporarily suspended an independent journalist for publishing a private document allegedly hacked from the Trump campaign and leaked by Iran. Ken Klippenstein posted the 271-page document to his Substack account on Thursday. 'I’m just not a believer of the news media as an arm of the government.' Many believed Klippenstein was then suspended from X because he had posted the sensitive documents, but a statement from the company provided a different reason for the action. “Ken Klippenstein was temporarily suspended for violating our rules on posting unredacted private personal information, specifically Sen. Vance’s physical addresses and the majority of his Social Security number,” the statement said. The document included the vetting investigation into Vance by the Trump campaign and reportedly had embarrassing and private information about the senator from Ohio. Klippenstein said he posted the documents because they were of "keen public interest" during an election campaign. “I’m just not a believer of the news media as an arm of the government, doing its work combatting foreign influence,” he added. “Nor should it be a gatekeeper of what the public should know.” Both Politico and the Washington Post had said they received the documents from an anonymous source via emails in July, but they refused to publish them. “These documents were obtained illegally from foreign sources hostile to the United States, intended to interfere with the 2024 election and sow chaos throughout our Democratic process," said Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung at the time. On Wednesday, Trump revealed that intelligence officials had briefed him on alleged efforts from the Iran regime to assassinate him. "Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again," he wrote on social media. "An attack on a former President is a Death Wish for the attacker!" he added.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Security video captured a man bizarrely spitting on an 11-year-old walking to school and then groping the girl while pretending to help her clean the spit from her shirt, police said. 'This is the M.O. of a sexual predator. This is a parent's worst nightmare.' The incident unfolded near 71st Street and 54st Avenue in Maspeth in the Bronx borough of New York City on Friday at about 8 a.m., according to the NYPD. Video shows the man walk toward the girl and then casually spit out his drink onto her. He pretends it was an accident and then reaches out to clean the mess before groping the girl's backside, according to police. Police said that the same man used the same ploy to attempt to sexually assault a 12-year-old moments later. "Predatorial, dangerous, and common denominator: young girls going to school," said NYPD Chief John Chell to WNBC-TV. "This is the M.O. of a sexual predator. This is a parent's worst nightmare."The girl was treated at a hospital and is expected to be okay. The NYPD later announced the arrest of a suspect identified as 27-year-old Kadeem Laguerre of Brooklyn. He was arrested and booked on a charge of first-degree sexual assault. Police are asking for anyone with additional information in the case to contact them. Video of the bizarre incident can be viewed on the news report from WNBC on YouTube. Like Blaze News?
