Special Counsel Jack Smith sent a search warrant to Twitter for Donald Trump’s Twitter account.
Twitter fought the ruling and was forced to pay $350,000 for slowly complying with the warrant.
Trump was not notified.
A federal judge forced Twitter to pay $350,000 after it was slow to comply with special counsel Jack Smith’s search warrant for records related to former President Donald Trump.
Politico, which first broke the news, obtained newly unsealed documents that show how Smith’s team sent a search warrant for records related to @realDonaldTrump in January. The request was related to Smith’s investigation of Trump’s conduct following the 2020 election.
Smith’s grand jury later indicted Trump on four charges related to efforts to overturn the election and the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Last week, Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges.
According to the newly released document, Twitter sought to fight Smith’s move, especially the requirement that they could not inform Trump of the search warrant’s existence. A D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel later upheld a lower court’s decision that protected Smith’s request over Twitter’s First Amendment defense.
Trump responded on Truth Social calling it a “major “hit” on my civil rights.”
Just found out that Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ secretly attacked my Twitter account, making it a point not to let me know about this major “hit” on my civil rights. My Political Opponent is going CRAZY trying to infringe on my Campaign for President. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Does the First Amendment still exist? Did Deranged Jack Smith tell the Unselects to DESTROY & DELETE all evidence? These are DARK DAYS IN AMERICA!
Election Interference?
