UPDATE: Bolton says White House NEVER returned access to his account…

by The Right Scoop

This morning John Bolton said he was back on Twitter and that he was going to explain the backstory on his Twitter silence:

Later he tweeted that his Twitter account had been liberated…

And lastly, at least so far, Bolton says the White House refused to allow him access to his Twitter account for fear of what he might say:

UPDATE: Bolton just added another tweet saying the White House never returned access to his Twitter account and he thanked Twitter for doing it:

 
Trump was asked about this early this morning when he called into Fox and Friends and he says nobody locked Bolton’s account:

If you’ve followed this blog over the years, you know that I put a lot of stock into what Bolton says. And if he’s claiming the White House refused to return access to his Twitter account, I believe him.

Trump clearly wanted to control the narrative with respect to Bolton leaving in early September, so he came out that morning and said he fired Bolton. But Bolton quickly hit back using his Twitter account:

Notice after that tweet he started texting the media instead of using his Twitter account:

I suspect he started texting the media because the White House locked him out of his Twitter account after his tweet disputing Trump’s statement. I know it’s circumstantial, but it does seem to fit his version of the facts.
