An Israeli tech firm uncovered that someone has generated thousands of false, automated Twitter accounts to promote Donald Trump during the previous 11 months.
The bogus accounts praised the previous president, mocked Trump’s critics from both parties, and targeted Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.N. ambassador who is running for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
