Former President Donald Trump will continue to sue social media giant Twitter despite the fact that his account has been reinstated on the platform, according to a report in the Independent.
Trump was reinstated by new Twitter owner Elon Musk in November but has not chosen to return to the platform, instead opting to continue posting to Truth Social, his own social media company.
The lawsuit against Twitter was filed in 2021, after Twitter banned Trump in the waning days of his presidency following the events of January 6.
Trump's attorney, John Cole, told Bloomberg and other publications that Trump would continue to appeal the dismissal of the lawsuit. The suit had previously been dismissed by a judge in California. Cole says the appeal will continue unless Twitter decides to settle the lawsuit.
"You don't just do things on your own, you should talk to the other side or wait. There's more to it than just letting him back in so we want to talk to see if we can figure something out," Cole said.
Following Musk's takeover of Twitter, he held a poll on whether the former president should be reinstated. Following the completion of the poll, Musk announced Trump would be allowed back on the platform. Last week, Musk announced "general amnesty" for previously banned accounts. The action was said to be set to begin this week.
