Heavily redacted documents related to special counsel Jack Smith’s search warrant for information related to former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account showed that federal prosecutors wanted his search history, blocked users, mutes, and drafts of tweets, while also seeking information on users that interacted with the former president.

More than half of the pages related to the search warrant, released this week, were totally redacted. It means that the page appears as a black rectangle with no text.
