Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, early Monday dismissed a report that the Republican presidential nominee’s press aides have revoked his access to Twitter.
{mosads}”No, it’s not true,” Conway said on NBC’s “Today” show before quickly pivoting to ObamaCare.
The New York Times reported Sunday that the GOP nominee no longer has control of what goes out on his Twitter account.
In one example given by the Times, Trump and top press aide Hope Hicks co-authored a tweet saying President Obama shouldn’t be spending his time in office campaigning for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Hicks approved and posted the final message.
Trump’s social media account boasts more than 13 million followers, and the unconventional politician has regularly leaned on it to tar political rivals and give voters an unfiltered look at his thoughts. But his Twitter musings have been a regular source of headaches for his campaign both during the primary election and the general election.
