Special Counsel searches Trump’s Twitter account.
Special Counsel Secures Search Warrant for Trump’s Twitter Account
Special Counsel Jack Smith has recently obtained a search warrant for the Twitter account of former President Donald Trump, as revealed in unsealed court filings on Wednesday.
Trump Reacts to the News
Upon learning about this development, Trump took to Truth Social to express his outrage. He accused Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ of secretly attacking his Twitter account and infringing on his civil rights. Trump questioned the existence of the First Amendment and raised concerns about the destruction of evidence by Jack Smith and his associates. He referred to these as dark days in America.
Investigation into Interference
Jack Smith initiated a criminal investigation into Trump’s alleged interference with the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election. As part of this investigation, Smith obtained a warrant directed at Twitter (now known as X) to produce data and records related to Trump’s “@realDonaldTrump” Twitter account.
Probable Cause and Nondisclosure Order
The district court found probable cause to search the Twitter account for evidence of criminal offenses. To protect the ongoing investigation, the court determined that disclosing the warrant to Trump would seriously jeopardize it. Therefore, a “nondisclosure order” was issued, preventing Twitter from informing Trump about the warrant.
Twitter’s Appeal and Compliance
Initially, Twitter appealed the warrant, arguing that the “nondisclosure order” violated the First Amendment. However, the social media platform eventually complied after facing contempt charges and a $350,000 sanction for resisting.
Indictment and Plea
Last week, Trump was indicted on multiple felony charges related to the 2020 presidential election. The charges include Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, and Conspiracy Against Rights. Trump pleaded not guilty to all four charges, dismissing them as a pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and the weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election.
