Redacted warrant reveals how Jack Smith scoured Trump's Twitter data for election case

Special counsel Jack Smith likely seized a broad amount of information related to former Donald Trump's Twitter account.

A redacted search warrant unsealed this week showed the large swath of data Smith's team ordered Twitter to hand over that could be related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The existence of the search warrant was first revealed earlier this year after media organizations sued.

The special counsel's office demanded identity information and a list of devices Trump used to log in to the service.

Twitter was ordered to turn over "all content" created by Trump from October 2020 to Jan. 2021, when his account was suspended. This information included all tweets created, drafted, favorited/liked, or retweeted.

In addition, all notifications and alerts received by Trump were requested. Twitter was given 10 days to respond.

Eight of the 14 pages in the warrant were redacted entirely.
