Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed and obtained a search warrant related for former President Trump\u2019s Twitter<\/a> account, according to court filings unsealed Wednesday.<\/p>\n The case, decided in July, ordered Twitter, now known as X, to turn over the documents sought by Smith and also fined the company $350,000 for a three-day delay in complying with a court order of the records.<\/p>\n DOJ, which first sought the records in January of this year, also obtained a nondisclosure order which prohibited Twitter from disclosing the existence or contents of the search warrant to anyone, including Trump himself.<\/p>\n \u201cThe district court found that there were \u2018reasonable grounds to believe\u2019 that disclosing the warrant to former President Trump \u201cwould seriously jeopardize the ongoing investigation\u201d by giving him \u2018an opportunity to destroy evidence, change patterns of behavior, [or] notify confederates,\u2019\u201d the U.S. Court of App<\/a>eals for D.C. noted in its ruling.<\/p>\n DEVELOPING<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
