Not sure why you are being downvoted given that this is probably correct? Sounds like the attack was through an admin portal. Given that Trump was one of the few high profile accounts not targeted, it seems like the attackers were not able to access his account through that portal. And his Twitter has been attacked by employees before so Twitter probably locked it down so employees can't modify it.

Or whoever did this didn’t want to draw a terrorism charge if they got caught and just wanted to keep it limited to wire fraud.

Could you elaborate on twitter employees attacking his account? This is the first time I read about that.

Oh, I thought you meant defacing his account or something. It "just" being deleted didn't quite register as an attack for me.
