BLOOMBERG – 12/29/2019: Donald Trump has no intention to stay away from controversies. Just yesterday, his retweet was in the center of political happenings in the US. His tweet revealed the name of the whistleblower who is responsible for congressional inquiry that later led to the president’s impeachment trial.

The tweet was originally posted by @Surfermom77. Trump retweeted it, sometime between Friday and Saturday. But, later during the day, it was removed from Presidents’ feed. The media believed that it was the POTUS who removed it, but that wasn’t the case. It was a small Twitter glitch that affected numerous accounts, so some of their content wasn’t visible. This happened to Mr. Trumps feed. So, it was not his intention nor doing to delete the named tweet. Right after Twitter engineers removed the glitch, the Tweet was once again on Trump’s feed.
