A Twitter employee temporarily shut down the account of President Donald J. Trump Thursday. For several minutes this afternoon, President Donald J. Trump’s personal Twitter account vanished for several minutes and then re-appeared. The outage lasted 11 minutes.
“Through our investigation we have learned that this was done by a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee’s last day. We are conducting a full internal review,” Twitter said in a tweet around 7 p.m. this evening.
In another tweet earlier in the day, Twitter said the outage of the president’s account was the result of “human error.”

Earlier today @realdonaldtrump’s account was inadvertently deactivated due to human error by a Twitter employee. The account was down for 11 minutes, and has since been restored. We are continuing to investigate and are taking steps to prevent this from happening again.
