Earlier Saturday, the Washington Post reported that the Trump administration had banned the Interior Department from Twitter over the Friday tweets.



"All bureaus and the department have been directed by incoming administration to shut down Twitter platforms immediately until further notice,” an email to Park Service employees on Friday reportedly said.

A government official told The Post that the retweets were being investigated to determine whether the account had been hacked.

The National Parks Service Twitter account remained active, but the posts in question were removed.
