Mr. Trump tweeted: “My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.”

President Donald Trump is making light of his Twitter account going dark for a few minutes this week.

Twitter has reported that a customer support worker was on his or her last day on the job and “inadvertently” deactivated Trump’s account briefly on Thursday evening.

Early Friday, Mr. Trump tweeted- “My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.”

Mr. Trump also tweeted that “everybody” is asking why the Justice Department isn’t investigating “all of the dishonesty going on with Crooked Hillary & the Dems.”
