According to the transcript of a legal hearing released Wednesday, a federal judge asked if Elon Musk's Twitter was attempting to 'cozy up' to Donald Trump.
Special counsel Jack Smith speaks to members of the media at the U.S. Department of Justice building in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 1, 2023.At various points during the February hearing, Howell questioned Twitter's lawyers about whether they understood the "scope" of the warrant and the information the government sought.
The judge and the defense's legal team engaged in a seemingly tense back-and-forth exchange about the proper ways to search for the material and what kind of data was appropriate for the government to gather as part of its probe. "It couldn't be that Twitter is trying to make up for the fact that it kicked Donald Trump off Twitter for some period of time that it now is standing up to protect First Amendment rights here, is it?" said Howell.
