Supreme Court Rejects X Corp Appeal on Trump Data

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Elon Musk’s X Corp., formerly known as Twitter, concerning a nondisclosure order related to a search warrant for Donald Trump's direct messages. The warrant was part of special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s alleged efforts to interfere with the 2020 election results. X Corp. contested the order as a violation of its First Amendment rights, arguing it should have been allowed to notify Trump to assert executive privilege. However, lower courts upheld the order, citing risks to the investigation’s integrity if the warrant was disclosed. The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear the appeal leaves the lower court's decision intact, and no explanation was given for the denial. This ruling follows Smith's ongoing legal actions against Trump for allegedly obstructing the certification of the 2020 election results, with Trump maintaining his innocence.
