Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin deleted a retweeted Twitter post blasting General Motors Co.’s plan to close U.S. factories and said someone had gained unauthorized access to his account.
Mnuchin didn’t say who made the post -- a retweet of an account called @The_Trump_Train, which has no identified owner or operator -- and didn’t claim that his account had been hacked. President Donald Trump retweeted the same posting and hasn’t deleted it.
