Stanislaus County Superior Court said Friday that an employee, not a hacker, as the court originally announced, tweeted from the court's official account promoting the reelection of President Donald Trump and chastising protesters removing confederate statues in Virginia.

The court announced Thursday that it will launch a full investigation into the incident and will take "appropriate action consistent with its personnel rules and applicable law."

The tweet, published Thursday afternoon, reposted a video uploaded from One American News Network anchor Alex Salvi featuring protesters tearing down statues within a Confederate monument in Portsmouth, Virginia, reporting that at least one person had been critically injured from a falling statue.
