The social media platform X, formerly Twitter, provided 32 direct messages from President Donald Trump’s account 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 challenge the results of the 2020 election. He has since indicted the former president with a conspiracy to obstruct the collection and counting of electoral votes.
