Since they are an agency of the government, can one ask to get a tweet pulled out as a stamped and verified document?

The federal government has policies that govern retention of social media:

https://records-express.blogs.archives.gov/2017/01/27/record...

> Bulletin 2014-02 informs agencies that content created on social media platforms, including Twitter, is likely to be a Federal record and must be managed appropriately. For records posted on third-party social media platforms, agencies must determine how best to manage the records for the appropriate retention period and capture them where appropriate. Some social media records may be temporary, with a transitory, short, or long-term retention. However, some dispositions may be permanent, requiring the records to be preserved until their eventual transfer to the National Archives.

Nice thanks
No idea what rights you'd have in the US, I'm not a citizen :-)
