it s the top of the hour on cnn newsroom. i m alisyn camerota. i m victor blackwell. good to be with you. more than 8,000 flights have been delayed just today after the faa made a rare move in the ground of safety. they grounded flights to work out major flights in a messaging system. pilots use this system to learn about safety hazards in realtime. somewhere overnight, there was an issue with irregularities in the messages that were going out that reflected a bigger systems issue, and this morning at about 7:00, there were still problems validating that the messages were going out. so for safety reasons to make sure that every aircraft that took off was doing so safely, faa implemented a ground stop. secretary buttigieg said it s still not clear what caused this system failure, but it does not appear to be a cyberattack. what is clear is the ripple effect for thousands of passengers so let s bring in cnn s adrienne broaddus. what are passengers telling you, adrienne?
prior to the election, and this isn t the first time that has happened either, whether it s censoring the new york post, 100 different people, we obviously know doj was coordinating heavily, and they were coordinating with big tech in order to suppress certain things. yeah. my knee-jerk concern is the difference in timing. i m hopeful we do something i don t feel like democrats did for my first two years. we re going to investigate the conduct and take it where it goes, and we re going to do it in a serious way, and then prejudge any conclusions until we figure out what s going on. in terms of disclosure, it wasn t that president trump came out and disclosed it. it was that the national archives spent more than a year trying to the documents back from mar-a-lago. that s why it was disclosed. they finally had to make a public statement. i wouldn t say they were very disclosing. no, and i understand that, and i think there are probably differences in the cases. there are always
and i feel vindicated. i feel, i m grateful for elon. if he wants free tech support he has got it. [laughter]. it is refreshing. it is obviously, you know, if he had bought twitter during the lawsuit i think things would work out better for me. it is what it is. i m grateful that the truth is coming out now i m vindicated. rachel: go ahead. pete: one of the tweets that came out from matt taibbi as part of exposure of twitter. twitter s public policy executive, caroline strom, returned the answer that the laptop story was removed for the violation of the company s hacked materials policy. you had been approached by the fbi. they were in the possession of the laptop and that information. we know that agencies were meeting with twitter on a regular basis and other social media companies before the election. how much time would twitter or the fbi had had with your material, especially the fbi
hunter biden laptop story was dismissed it was mocked. if you even thought it was a real story your account got locked on twitter and you were called a conspiracy theorist. here we are two years later everything in the laptop, all the emails have been verified. journalists you would think let s not do this again. elon musk puts out documents through matt taibbi, a real journalist. we re seeing from same journalists mockery, dismissed or ignored. washington post has a story on the email dump by elon musk. all they do is say there is no there there. this is no big deal. this is one of the most egregious, what do i want to say here, biggest violation of pow every by an industry, big tech in its history what they did with the story. it became pongyang in the u ask. a. reporter: elon musk said i believe there was election interference based on what twitter did.
