Jack Smith Obtained a Secret Search Warrant , for Donald Trump’s Twitter Account.
In January, special counsel Jack Smith got a search warrant to comb through the former president's Twitter account but asked the social media platform not to inform Trump, court documents show. .
Twitter, now known as X, was ordered to provide data and records pertaining to @realDonaldTrump.
According to prosecutors, secrecy was important because if Trump knew, it would provide him
"an opportunity to destroy evidence, change patterns of behavior [or] notify confederates." .
Initially, Twitter appealed the decision,
stating that the order to keep things quiet "violated the First Amendment and the
Stored Communications Act," NPR reports. .
The appeal was rejected, and Twitter provided the information three days after its deadline, which resulted in a $350,000 fine. .
Trump took to Truth Social to address the newly-revealed details of Smith's investigation into the former president's alleged attempts to alter the results of the 2020 election.
