- 4 years ago
John Bolton slammed the White House Friday.
Former National Security Adviser John Bolton has announced his return to Twitter, blaming his absence on the White House which he says "refused to return access to my personal Twitter account."
Bolton tweeted in a series Friday: "Glad to be back on Twitter after more than two months….We have now liberated the Twitter account, previously suppressed unfairly in the aftermath of my resignation as National Security Advisor….Since resigning as National Security Advisor, the @WhiteHouse refused to return access to my personal Twitter account. Out of fear of what I may say? To those who speculated I went into hiding, I'm sorry to disappoint!"
He added: "In full disclosure, the @WhiteHouse never returned access to my Twitter account. Thank you to @twitter for standing by their community standards and rightfully returning control of my account."
Bolton also told CNN that the White House had "attached software to it and Twitter unattached software to it."
However, President Trump denied blocking Bolton's account when asked about his claims, saying, "Of course not. I actually had a good relationship with John. We disagreed on some things and some methods but I actually had a good relationship."
