"DOJ Warns Trump's Knowledge of Search Warrant Could Incite Violence"
TL;DR Summary
Court filings reveal that the Department of Justice (DOJ) argued that former President Donald Trump could have incited violence if he had known about a search warrant issued for his Twitter account. The warrant was part of an investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. The DOJ expressed concerns that Trump could tamper with evidence, intimidate witnesses, and jeopardize the investigation. Twitter opposed the DOJ's request to keep the warrant secret, but an appeals court ruled against the company, stating that informing Trump would not safeguard the integrity of the investigation.
