TL;DR Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for Donald Trump's Twitter account earlier this year, resulting in a court battle with Twitter. The company initially resisted complying with the warrant, leading to a federal judge holding them in contempt and imposing a $350,000 fine. The warrant's existence reveals that prosecutors gained access to Trump's Twitter account, which he used actively during the run-up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The warrant's purpose remains unclear, but obtaining data from Twitter could have revealed patterns of Trump's account usage and potential evidence.
