Twitter permanently removed pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood’s account, a Twitter spokesperson confirmed Thursday.

The spokesperson said Wood’s account was permanently suspended for violating Twitter’s rules. The spokesperson also confirmed Wood’s second account, @fightbacklaw, was also removed.

The spokesperson would not share any further details about the suspension.

After Wood’s primary Twitter account was suspended, Wood posted on Parler, a social media platform popular among conservative voices, that he would be posting on his secondary @fightbacklaw account.

Parler brands itself as pro-free speech over its decision to limit content moderation. Unlike mainstream social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter, Parler does not label or take action against posts that may spread misinformation or incite violence.

Wood continues to post on Parler, including screenshots of tweets from his former Twitter account. In one post, Wood bashed Vice President Pence, calling him a “dark soul” and stating a “very special place in Hell” awaits the Republican lawmaker.

In his posts on Parler, Wood also claims there is a “planned coup” in an attempt to “overthrow the duly elected President, Donald Trump” and urges Trump supporters to only listen to the president.
