Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said Friday that he had “liberated” his Twitter account after it was “unfairly” commandeered by the White House shortly after President Donald Trump fired him.
“Glad to be back on Twitter after more than two months,” said the famously acerbic former Fox News commentator and Ambassador to the United Nations. “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!”
