• Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, better known as Diamond and Silk, testified on Capitol Hill after claiming their content was censored by Facebook
• When asked if they were ever paid by the Trump campaign they said no
• An FEC filing shows that on November 22, 2016 DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC. paid Diamond and Silk $1,274.94 for fieldwork
• The two women also said Facebook never tried to contact them after deeming their content 'unsafe'
• Facebook provided proof that they emailed the women to both their public and private accounts 

  Two of President Trump's most visible supporters made multiple false statements in front of the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

  Social media personalities Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, better known as Diamond and Silk, were called to Capitol Hill in order to deliver testimony during the Filtering Practices of Social Media Platforms hearing.

  That hearing descended into spectacle by the end however, with almost every member of the committee walking out during the pair's testimony.

  Those false statements included their claim that they had never been paid by the Trump campaign and that Facebook had never reached out to them after they accused the company of censoring their content.

  An FEC filing from November 22, 2016 shows that DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC. paid Diamond and Silk $1,274.94 for fieldwork, while Facebook has released multiple letters the company wrote to the two women which were sent to both their private and public accounts.

  Little attention was paid to the claim that Facebook had been censoring Diamond and Silk until earlier this month, when they received a notice stating that their content was 'unsafe.'

  That suddenly provided some weight to their claims, which Facebook in turn blamed on an 'enforcement error.'

  As a result, the two women were asked to give testimony to Congress. 

  'Ms. Hardaway have you ever been paid by the Trump campaign?' asked Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D-Texas) at one point in the hearing. 

  'No, we’ve never been paid by the Trump campaign,' replied Hardaway (aka Diamond).
