It is unclear what Smith was seeking from Trump’s account. Obtaining data from Twitter might have revealed patterns about Trump’s use of it, whether there were any draft statements that were unsent, and whether others had access to it. Trump actively used the account to promote false claims of election fraud, call out Washington for “stealing” the election, and mount attacks on his rivals. It ultimately led to the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

On January 6, 2021, supporters were called upon to descend on Washington for a “wild” protest amid the violence, as well as President Trump’s tweets, including his tweet on December 19, 2020, which were replete with references to the election and his refusal to accept the election results. Vice President Mike Pence was also targeted by President Trump, attacking him for refusing to overturn the election at the Capitol.

The warrant’s existence demonstrates that prosecutors gained access to the inner workings of what was previously the most influential platform in American politics and possibly globally, as the former president has not tweeted from the account since his return. However, Elon Musk, who assumed control of Twitter last year, reinstated Trump’s access. Trump was prohibited from using Twitter shortly after January 6, when the company determined that his tweets violated its terms.

The decision of prosecutors to serve a warrant rooted in team Smith’s fight with Twitter was based on a nondisclosure order prohibiting Trump from notifying anyone else about the existence of the warrant.

The appeals court acknowledged that the district court determined that revealing the warrant to former President Trump could potentially endanger the ongoing investigation by providing him with a chance to destroy evidence, alter his behavior, or inform his associates. Additionally, the district court discovered sufficient evidence to search the Twitter account for indications of criminal activities through ex parte affidavits.

Twitter complained that the order violated the First Amendment, stating that Judge Beryl Howell, the federal judge overseeing the matter at the U.S. District Court, should have blocked the enforcement of the warrant search objection until the issue was resolved.

Trump’s decision to disclose even a part of the ongoing criminal investigation, which was endorsed by the appeals court, would have jeopardized the warrant of saying that, according to Howell’s decision.

The panel, which consisted of Judge Florence Pan, appointed by Biden and author of the opinion, determined that the primary purpose of the nondisclosure order was to prevent the former President from being informed about the existence of the warrant. The remaining two judges on the panel were Michelle Childs, appointed by Biden, and Cornelia Pillard, appointed by Obama.

The important investigation on January 6th highlighted the judges’ emphasis on protecting tailored, reasonable, and temporary orders of nondisclosure. The company “noted” that they remained free to publicly speak about the investigation and raise general concerns regarding nondisclosure orders or warrants.

On January 25th, when Twitter prodded prosecutors about the warrant, she claimed that she had not heard anything about it from her counsel or the company. However, the company finally connected with prosecutors on January 19th, but did not immediately comply with the warrant. On January 17th, they found that the page on their website for legal requests was inoperative, but they attempted to contact the Justice Department’s prosecutors for the first time via Twitter. The recently taken opinion by Musk, which describes the “difficulties” initially encountered when making contact with Twitter, is only described in the opinion.

Ultimately, on February 1st, four days past the deadline for production, Twitter objected to the nondisclosure order on legal grounds.

Pan observed, “According to the First Amendment, the non-disclosure order was invalid on its face, but the company did not doubt the legitimacy of the search warrant.” “Before the district court evaluated the legality of the non-disclosure order, Twitter notified the government that it would not adhere to the warrant,” Pan added.

Howell approved fines starting at $50,000 for each day of noncompliance, with the fines doubling for each subsequent day. Howell found Twitter in contempt, and Smith’s team requested a contempt order from Howell. On Feb. 2, Twitter submitted a motion to nullify the nondisclosure order.

The appeals court acknowledged that Twitter did not object to the formula sanctions. It was noted that Twitter’s net worth was over $180 billion and that it was sold for over $40 billion, which the court adopted as a suggestion.

Twitter did not completely adhere until February 9th, resulting in the $350,000 penalty.
