Bolton, a vocal national security hawk, returned to Twitter this week after a hiatus, claiming his account was “suppressed unfairly” after his September departure from the White House.

“We have now liberated the Twitter account, previously suppressed unfairly in the aftermath of my resignation as National Security Advisor. More to come,” Bolton tweeted.
He later added that the White House “refused to return access to my personal Twitter account” and that he was “sorry to disappoint” anyone who thought he would not eventually speak out.
