Supreme Court WONT Hear Appeal From Elon Musk Over Warrant in Trump Election Case
Supreme Court Won't Hear Appeal From Elon Musks X Platform Over Warrant in Trump Case
Supreme Court said it won?t hear an appeal from the social media platform X over a search warrant prosecutors obtained in the election-interference case against Trump.
AP 7 OCT 2024
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk listened as Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event at the Butler Farm Show, Saturday, Oct. 5, 2024, in Butler, Pa.
The justices did not explain their reasoning and there were no noted dissents.
The company, known as Twitter before it was purchased by billionaire Elon Musk, says a nondisclosure order that blocked it from telling Trump about the warrant obtained by special counsel Jack Smith?s team violated its First Amendment rights.
The company also argues Trump should have had a chance to exert executive privilege. If not reined in, the government could use similar tactics to invade other privileged communications, their lawyers argued.
Two nonpartisan electronic privacy groups also weighed in, encouraging the high court to take the case on First Amendment grounds.
Prosecutors, though, say the company never showed Trump had used the account for official purposes so executive privilege wouldn't be an issue. A lower court also found that telling Trump could have jeopardized the ongoing investigation.
