    Special counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant in January for data from former President Trump’s Twitter account as part of his investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Twitter was recently found in contempt for delaying compliance with the warrant and ordered to pay a $350,000 fine. The existence of the warrant and Twitter’s noncompliance had not been previously disclosed due to a nondisclosure order. Twitter initially objected to the order before providing the requested information past a court deadline. The special counsel is investigating Trump’s actions surrounding the transfer of power after the 2020 election. Last week, Trump was indicted on several charges including conspiracy related to interfering with the election certification.
