The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal from billionaire Elon Musk’s X Corp. related to special counsel Jack Smith's attempt to obtain former President Trump's communications on Twitter.

Smith has been seeking Trump’s communications on Twitter for his investigation into the former president’s challenge to the 2020 election results. 

X has argued that Smith violated the First Amendment by obtaining a search warrant for Trump’s messages on Twitter.

According to CBS, Twitter initially declined to comply with turning over the records and received a fine of $350,000. The company eventually turned over some of his messages.

Trump was indicted in 2023 and the case is currently pending in U.S. District Court in Washington.

The high court did not elaborate on its reasoning for not hearing the case.
