Trump Admin Suggests Disciplining ACLU Lawyers

The Trump Administration is asking the Supreme Court to vacate a lower court decision that allowed an undocumented teenager to receive an abortion while in government custody. The filing suggested that ACLU lawyers misled the government on when the girl could legally receive an abortion, leading the government to delay filing an appeal. The girl received an abortion 1 day earlier than attorneys said she would. The Trump Administration says that the incident is grounds for punishment for the ACLU attorneys.

Trump's Twitter Account Temporarily Deactivated By Rogue Twitter Employee

Around 7 pm on Thursday night, @realDonaldTrump disappeared from Twitter — not a suspension, but gone:

Twitter reinstated the account after just 11 minutes, and announced that the removal was the result of "human error." A short time later, Twitter revealed that an employee — as a final act on their last day on the job — had deactivated Trump's account:

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. https://t.co/mlarOgiaRF

Trump, somewhat surprisingly, didn't tweet about the incident until this morning:

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.

Trump Calls For FBI Investigation Into The Democrats
