President Donald Trump's Twitter account appeared to briefly disappear, but is now back up and running.
Shortly before 7 pm (local time) yesterday, social media reports surfaced that the president's personal account, @RealDonaldTrump, was unavailable, providing the error message that the user "does not exist." The account was restored by 7:03 pm.
It is not clear what caused the outage, which appeared to last under 10 minutes.
Spokespeople for the White House and Twitter did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
