Special Counsel's Expert Witness Analyzes Trump's Social Media Use for Election Interference Trial

Special counsel Jack Smith plans to call three expert witnesses in Donald Trump's federal election interference trial, one of whom has analyzed Trump's cell phone data. The witnesses will testify about Trump's use of social media, including Twitter, in the months leading up to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The court filing reveals that the experts have analyzed data from Trump's phone, including images and websites visited, and will provide information on the periods when Trump's phone was unlocked and the Twitter application was open on January 6. The trial is set to begin on March 4, 2024.
