Special Counsel Jack Smith was seeking Donald Trump’s direct messages on Twitter, of which there were many, federal prosecutors and lawyers for Twitter revealed in newly unsealed transcripts from hearings about the search warrant, CNN reports.
New York Times: “While it remained unclear what sorts of information the messages contained and who exactly may have written them, it was a revelation that there were private messages associated with the Twitter account of Mr. Trump, who has famously been cautious about using written forms of communications in his dealings with aides and allies.”
“The lawyer for Twitter told Judge Howell that the company had found both ‘deleted’ and ‘nondeleted’ direct messages associated with Mr. Trump’s account.”
