Supreme Court won't hear appeal from Elon Musk’s X platform over warrant in Trump case
The Supreme Court says it won't hear an appeal from the social media platform X over a search warrant prosecutors obtained in the election-interference case against former President Donald Trump
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court said Monday it won’t hear an appeal from the social media platform X over a search warrant prosecutors obtained in the election-interference case against former President Donald Trump.
The justices did not explain their reasoning and there were no noted dissents.
The company, known as Twitter before it was purchased by billionaire Elon Musk, says a nondisclosure order that blocked it from telling Trump about the warrant obtained by special counsel Jack Smith’s team violated its First Amendment rights.
The company also argues Trump should have had a chance to exert executive privilege. If not reined in, the government could use similar tactics to invade other privileged communications, their lawyers argued.
