Trump Campaign Denies Report Of Taking Twitter Away From Him

WASHINGTON (CBS / AP) – Donald Trump's campaign manager says it's not true that his staff has stopped him from tweeting.

Trump has exhibited unusual restraint on social media in the final days of the campaign. The New York Times reported on Sunday that aides "have finally wrested away" his Twitter account.

President Barack Obama seized on the report at a voter rally in Florida, telling the crowd that anyone who can't be trusted with a Twitter account shouldn't be trusted with control of the America's nuclear weapons.

When asked Monday about the Times report by NBC's "Today Show," campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said: "No, it's not true."
