CNN —Twitter turned over at least 32 direct messages from former President Donald Trump’s account – @realDonaldTrump – to special counsel Jack Smith earlier this year as part of the federal election subversion investigation, according to newly unsealed court filings.
The unsealed filings shed new light on the extent of the special counsel investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Much of that conduct played out publicly, including on Trump’s Twitter account, where he promoted bogus claims of mass fraud and urged government officials to disrupt certification of the results.
At the time of the prosecutors’ court argument to the appeals court, Trump wasn’t charged in federal court in either case.
Another court filing unsealed Friday said that the warrant sought information from October 2020 through January 2021.
