Summary

As part of his investigation into Donald Trump's 2020 election subversion crimes, Jack Smith obtained a search warrant for Trump's Twitter/X account information. Smith also obtained a typical nondisclosure order directing that Twitter/X can not disclose to Trump the fact that the feds had seized his account information. This nondisclosure order - which prohibited disclosure to Trump of a period of six months after the execution of the search warrant - is entirely typical to protect ongoing investigations. But Musk challenged the nondisclosure order, claiming that it violated X's First Amendment free speech rights. Well, the US Supreme Court just rebuffed Musk, as reported by CBS news, "Supreme Court won't step into dispute over Jack Smith's efforts to get Trump's X information."

Glenn discusses why the Supreme Court was right to reject Musk's petition for review.
