Elon Musk’s X platform handed over 32 direct messages from Donald Trump’s account with the social media platform to special counsel Jack Smith as part of his election subversion probe.

The former president was a voracious user of his @realDonaldTrump as he tried to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory, but was suspended by the platform, formerly known as Twitter, in the wake of the January 6 attack “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

Last November, following Mr Musk’s $44bn purchase of the social media app, the billionaire said that banning Mr Trump had been a mistake. The former president, who has a financial stake in Truth Social, said that he would never return to Twitter, but in August posted there for the first time in two years.

But that has not stopped federal prosecutors from getting access to a string of Mr Trump’s private messages from the high-profile account, according to court filings.

2. 32?!

5. Yeah, that doesn't look suspicious, does it ...

32 "direct messages" probably means that's how many the Space Nazi thinks are innocuous. It wouldn't surprise me if he had his lawyers run their selections past him, first, and he deleted any that he thought might make Muamar Covfefe look bad.

3. Why do i get a feeling

These 32 are Not ALL the ones Jack wants?

4. I think Jack Smith wants more than 5 minutes worth of tweets. Lol

6. These are private messages, not tweets.

9. Any bets on whether

Musx went through them before turning them over and had a few "fall on the floor" and not get included?

10. That Twitter turned over 32 private messages was unsealed in September, which means

that Jack Smith had that evidence before he filed his charges on August 1 2023.

So this might be news here right now, but it's been news since a couple of months ago, just to be clear.

I recall seeing that post on LBN, and sourced with CNN. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143130774
