UPDATE: The back story

Former United States National Security Adviser John Bolton has returned to Twitter, claiming the Trump administration had suppressed his account after he was forced out in September.

[...]

"Since resigning as National Security Advisor, the @WhiteHouse refused to return access to my personal Twitter account," Bolton continued in another post. "Out of fear of I may say?"

If they can withhold access to personal Twitter accounts, they should start with Trump's.

The former national security adviser said on Friday that the White House had not returned the access to his account. "Thank you @twitter for standing by their community standards and returning control of my account," Bolton said.

Bolton's most recent post before Friday's salvo was on September 10, the day President Donald Trump announced Bolton had been fired. Trump cited that he and Bolton, who was appointed to the post in April 2018, had "strongly disagreed on major issues".

In his final September tweet, Bolton disputed that he had been fired, saying he had offered to resign the day before, and Trump responded, "Let's talk about it tomorrow".

And, instead, "tomorrow" he tweeted that Bolton was out.

Bolton did not show for a scheduled [Trump impeachment investigation] hearing on November 7, and is reportedly awaiting a ruling by a judge about whether White House officials must testify if subpoenaed by Congress.

To date, legislators have not subpoenaed Bolton.

[Ambassador Gordon] Sondland testified on Wednesday that under Trump's orders he worked with the president's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who implemented a pressure campaign to get Ukraine to publicly announce an investigation into Burisma, a gas company linked to political rival Joe Biden's son, Hunter, and the 2016 US elections in exchange for a White House meeting. Legislators are also trying to determine if $400m in withheld military aid was also part of that pressure campaign.

Sondland "blurted" out details of his effort during the meeting, Hill testified, causing Bolton to noticeably "stiffen", she said.

Bolton later told Hill to make clear to the lawyer that he was "not part of whatever drug deal" Sondland and Trump's acting chief of staff were cooking up, Hill said.

Bolton is out there cooking up his own drug deal now.
