Donald Trump asks US judge to force Twitter to restore his account

Former US President's attorneys on Friday filed a motion in a District Court in Miami seeking a preliminary injunction against Twitter and its CEO, Jack Dorsey. 

New York: Former President Donald Trump has asked a federal judge in Florida to force Twitter to restore his account, which the company suspended in January following the deadly storming of the US Capitol.

Trump's attorneys on Friday filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Miami seeking a preliminary injunction against Twitter and its CEO, Jack Dorsey. They argue that Twitter is censoring Trump in violation of his First Amendment rights, according to the motion.

Twitter declined to comment Saturday on Trump's filing.
