"Based Mike Lee" Twitter account is briefly suspended

Details: Lee on Tuesday tweeted, "What goes around comes around" in Japanese to Kishida shortly after demanding the release of a U.S. Navy lieutenant who is serving a prison sentence in Japan for a car crash that killed two people.

• The account was suspended for about two hours Wednesday morning, during which the U.S. senator complained about the suspension from his longstanding @SenMikeLee account.

Of note: Lee tweeted that his "team" was seeking answers about the suspension of his personal account, which could raise questions as to whether the "Based Mike Lee" account is purely personal.

• That distinction may affect whether the account can legally block critics and other users from viewing what may be government communications.
• It's also unclear whether using the account to engage with a foreign head of state on a diplomatic matter amounts to senatorial correspondence.
