The search history, drafted tweets, blocks, and mutes of former President Donald Trump were all part of the extensive search warrant for information pertaining to Trump’s Twitter account.

Substantially redacted court documents reveal that the special counsel also requested a log of all devices used to access the account as well as details regarding users’ interactions with Trump, the New York Post reported.

In response to a lawsuit filed by media organizations seeking transparency regarding the special counsel’s investigation into the events leading up to the riot at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, the Justice Department on Monday released a number of documents, including a search warrant that had been issued in January against the company presently known as X.

The documents provide insight into the reasons for the warrant’s issuance against Elon Musk’s social media company.

At first, they were fined $350,000 for being late with compliance. The search warrant is heavily redacted on eight out of fourteen pages.

On the visible pages, Smith requests data pertaining to almost every possible aspect of the 77-year-old ex-president’s Twitter account. This includes, but is not limited to, “all advertising information… and ad topic preferences,” all IP addresses linked to the account, Trump’s privacy and account settings, records of communication between the account and Twitter support, and all direct messages sent and received by the account between October 2020 and January 2021.

In the days leading up to the riot, the government also wanted to know who had communicated with Trump.

“All information from the ‘Connect’ or ‘Notifications’ tab for the account, including all lists of Twitter users who have favorited or retweeted tweets posted by the account, as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account (i.e. “mentions” or “replies”),” the warrant states.

In addition to the search warrant, the court also issued a nondisclosure order directing the social media behemoth not to inform Trump of the investigation.

The nondisclosure order was met with resistance from Twitter, who unsuccessfully challenged it in court, claiming that it violated the First Amendment and the Stored Communications Act.

On Monday, the Department of Justice also made public its opposition to the business’s effort to inform Trump of the warrant.

“For what appears to be the first time in its history, Twitter Inc. (‘Twitter’) has filed a motion to vacate or modify an order that it not disclose the existence of a search warrant,” Smith argued, insisting that “there is reason to believe notification to the former president, a sophisticated actor with an expansive platform, would result in a statutorily cognizable harm.”

“The NDO was granted based on facts showing that notifying the former president would result in destruction of or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, or other serious jeopardy to an investigation or delaying of trial,” the special counsel wrote in the heavily redacted filing.

In August, Smith officially filed a four-count indictment against Trump, alleging that he attempted to manipulate the 2020 election results.

Throughout his presidency, Trump made heavy use of the social media site.

He was deactivated from Twitter after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, but he was reactivated in November 20, 2022, when Musk became the new CEO of the company.
