Either he bought followers, or gave suspicious apps authorization to post on his behalf, or his account was hacked.
None of the three seem good.

In the latter two, Twitter could easily prove that he was part of the influence network by producing the tweets that were made via his account. And buying followers is against TOS (but do they ban people for that? #doubt), but certainly not everybody that has fake followers is declared to be an actor in a state-sponsored misinformation campaign.
