WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 03: Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI) holds up a redacted document during a hearing about the Crossfire Hurricane investigation in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on December 03, 2020 in Washington, DC. Crossfire Hurricane is the code name for the FBI's 2016 counterintelligence investigation into possible links between President Donald Trump's associates and Russian officials. A Justice Department Inspector General report found no political bias in the initiation of the investigation, which resulted in the Mueller Report finding that the Trump campaign did not conspire or coordinate with the Russian government.

Sen. Ron Johnson‘s (R-Wisconsin) YouTube channel has been suspended after a video was posted of the lawmaker claiming coronavirus vaccines are unsafe.
Johnson will only face one week of suspension. “Once again Big Tech is censoring the truth,” Johnson responded.
Another person in the video violated YouTube’s policies by stating that vaccines do not prevent death. The FDA states categorically that the vaccines do prevent death.
YouTube prohibits content about the virus that spreads misinformation that contradicts health authorities. The platform allowed a shorter version of the video to stay online.
