Newly unsealed court documents detail court battle over Trump's data on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The pursuit came amid pushback from X centered on a non-disclosure agreement that prevented the company from informing Trump about a search warrant centered on his account, according to an opinion issued by the district court judge who ruled on the case.

Ultimately, a three-judge circuit court panel upheld the district court's opinion, keeping Twitter bound by the non-disclosure agreement, the circuit court opinion shows. The panel is comprised of two appointees of President Joe Biden and one appointee of former President Barack Obama.

The newly unsealed district court documents reveal the extent of the data prosecutors were seeking, including the content of all direct messages sent, received or in draft form, the content of all tweets created and drafted, devices used to login or access Trump's X account, IP addresses used to create, login or use the account and any privacy settings and communications with X and any person regarding Trump's account.

from X two days after the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol over what the company said at the time was "the risk of further incitement of violence."Trump's account shortly after taking control of the company last year, though Trump has not yet returned to posting with his old account. Although X produced some records from the account later that day, "its production was incomplete," the Special Counsel's office said, according to the opinion. X did not hand over the full amount of required data in compliance with the warrant until three days later, which the government argued merited a total fine against the company of $350,000.
