The Supreme Court announced on Monday that it will not hear an appeal from the social media platform X regarding a search warrant obtained by prosecutors in the election-interference case involving former President Donald Trump. The company, previously known as Twitter before being acquired by billionaire Elon Musk, argued that a nondisclosure order preventing it from informing Trump about the warrant violated its First Amendment rights.
X contended that Trump should have been able to assert executive privilege and raised concerns that similar government tactics could infringe on other privileged communications. However, prosecutors maintained that X failed to demonstrate that Trump had used the account for official purposes, rendering executive privilege irrelevant. Additionally, a lower court determined that disclosing the warrant to Trump could have compromised the ongoing investigation.
