The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, provided data and records related to the Twitter account of former President Donald Trump to special counsel Jack Smith in response to a secret search warrant.
Mr. Smith obtained the warrant in January as part of an investigation into President Trump’s effort to reverse the results of the 2020 election. He has since brought four charges against the former president, including a conspiracy to “impair, obstruct, and defeat” the collection and counting of electoral votes; conspiracy against Americans’ right to vote; obstruction of the electoral vote counting by Congress; and conspiracy to obstruct the electoral vote counting (pdf).
