The State Department announced it would delete all posts on its public X accounts made before President Trump returned to office on January 20, 2025, according to NPR News. The move, confirmed to NPR, will see the posts internally archived but no longer publicly visible. This decision comes as the British government faces a political storm stemming from the release of files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, as reported by Time.
The State Department's decision means anyone wanting to view the older posts will need to file a Freedom of Information Act request, according to a State Department employee cited by NPR. This action follows a period of significant change, including the return of President Trump to office.
Meanwhile, the British government is grappling with the fallout from the Epstein files, which have already impacted the monarchy. Prince Andrew, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was stripped of his royal title late last year, as reported by Time. He now faces renewed scrutiny following the U.S. Justice Department's release of over three million Epstein-related files last week. The focus has shifted to 10 Downing Street, the official residence of Britain's Prime Minister Keir S, according to Time.
In other news, the CIA World Factbook, a resource that drew millions of views annually, is no longer available, according to NPR News. The Factbook, which culled data from Cabinet agencies and other sources, was a valuable tool for journalists, as noted by NPR.
Finally, in a separate development, oil- and gas-producing regions in the continental United States are emitting up to five times more methane than they are reporting to government regulators, according to Nature News.
