Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for former President Donald Trump's Twitter account, @realDonaldTrump, earlier this year. The warrant was initially met with resistance from Twitter, which resulted in a federal judge holding the company in contempt and imposing a $350,000 fine. Trump was banned from Twitter after the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol, with his access being restored later by Elon Musk, who had taken over Twitter. Twitter resisted due to a "nondisclosure order" preventing them from notifying Trump or others about the warrant. The court upheld this to prevent harming the ongoing investigation, emphasizing the temporary and reasonable nature of the order. The exact information sought from Trump's account remains undisclosed.
