Donald Trump Jr. speaks before President Donald Trump arrives to speak to a group of young Republicans at Dream City Church in Phoenix, Arizona on June 23. Twitter has temporarily halted President Donald Trump’s son from tweeting on its site after he shared a video riddled with unsupported claims about the coronavirus Monday. Trump’s son took to Twitter Monday night to share the misleading video with his 5 million followers, calling it a “must watch!! !”Because it spread misinformation about treating the coronavirus, Twitter required Trump Jr. take down the video and put his account on a 12-hour timeout, a Twitter spokesman confirmed Tuesday. Versions of the video are still circulating widely on platforms like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, racking up millions of views.
