Update: Apparently, Mnuchin is regretting giving his twitter username and password to his aides at Treasury and/or his wife.
After retweeting a tweet from a Trump fan account Wednesday morning, Mnuchin has deleted the retweet and would like the world to know that this wasn’t an “authorized” tweeting.
The tweet was retweeted from Mnuchin’s account this morning, but the original was sent last night, which probably accounts for the incorrect timing given in the Treasury Secretary’s follow up.
