In this case, "NEW: New documents provided to House Oversight by the Pentagon suggest that the vast majority of military stays at Turnberry have occurred since Trump took office. ..." was posted first, and "House Oversight requested that the Pentagon turn over communications/emails relating to Turnberry. ..." was posted in response (it's called threading).

I don't think there's necessarily a contradiction. The first Tweet mentions "documents", the second mentions "communications/emails".
