The Supreme Court moved on April 5 to dismiss a lawsuit from former President Donald Trump that asked the justices to allow him to block critics on Twitter.

The nation’s highest court agreed with the Department of Justice (DOJ), which told it in January that the case would become moot when Joe Biden was sworn in as president.
