Jack Smith wins as court turns down appeal to keep Trump Twitter records secret

Special counsel Jack Smith will have access to Donald Trump's Twitter account, a court has ruled.

A split panel of D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals judges ruled against X's effort to appeal Smith's search warrant. X is the social media network formally known as Twitter.

"It is ORDERED that the petition be denied," the order stated.

Conservative judges on the court disagreed on the grounds that Trump was denied the opportunity to argue he had presidential immunity against charges related to election subversion.

"The Special Counsel's approach obscured and bypassed any assertion of executive privilege and dodged the careful balance Congress struck in the Presidential Records Act," the conservative judges wrote in their dissent. "The district court and this court permitted this arrangement without any consideration of the consequential executive privilege issues raised by this unprecedented search."
