The White House will continue to use Twitter Inc to communicate with voters as long as it remains a “viable platform”, White House chief of staff Ron Klain said on Dec 5.

“I think there’s no doubt that Twitter is a rougher neighbourhood than it was a month ago,” Klain said at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Summit.
