Donald Trump has officially asked to return to Facebook, one of the social networks from which he had been banned for his incendiary rhetoric which culminated in the attack on the Capitol.
The announcement was made by his electoral campaign committee, "urging not to reduce a presidential candidate to silence".
A lawyer for the tycoon has sent a letter to platform owner Mark Zuckerberg, asking for "a meeting to discuss his speedy readmission".
"We think the suspension of Trump's account has radically distorted and narrowed public debate," explained Scott Gast.
A decision on Trump's reinstatement on Facebook is expected in the coming weeks.
Trump has already been 'rehabilitated' on Twitter but for now he has given up on tweeting preferring to stay on his social Truth.
