President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani claimed Tuesday that Twitter allowed someone to hack his tweet to plant a hyperlink to a site critical of Trump.
In a tweet sent on Nov. 30, Giuliani took shots at special counsel Robert Mueller, calling for “supervision” of his investigation because he filed indictments at inconvenient times for Trump.
{mosads}The link Giuliani included in his tweet redirected straight to a page displaying only the words “Donald J. Trump is a traitor to our country.”
Four days later, Giuliani acknowledged the link and blamed Twitter.
“Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message,” he tweeted Tuesday evening.
Social media users pointed out that what likely happened was that someone bought a domain name matching the inadvertent link for the purpose of posting an anti-Trump message to troll Giuliani.
Twitter users were left scratching their heads at Giuliani’s statement.
