TL;DR Summary

Federal investigators have obtained access to White House cell phone records, including former President Donald Trump's phone, and may use the information as evidence in the special counsel's trial related to the 2020 election. The records were examined by a technical witness who identified periods when Trump's phone was unlocked and the Twitter application was open on January 6. The witness also analyzed data on Trump's phone and another individual's phone, including images and websites visited. Trump has denied wrongdoing and criticized the prosecution as politically motivated. The filing also mentioned two additional expert witnesses who will use digital data to explain the movement of the crowd on January 6. The Supreme Court has agreed to fast-track consideration of whether a president or former president is completely shielded from federal prosecution for alleged conduct while in office.
