Twitter Employee Deletes Donald Trump’s Twitter Account on Last Day at Work

A rogue Twitter employee deleted President Trump’s personal Twitter account on his last day as a customer support rep for the social network. Trump’s account was down for 11 minutes, and Twitter’s staff quickly restored it. The social network was upfront about the incident and revealed that a rogue employee on the last day of his job was the culprit. Incident also happened at a time when Twitter was under heavy scrutiny from US authorities for its role in delivering Russian propaganda via sockpuppet accounts and paid ads to US users during the 2016 presidential election.
