- In January, federal prosecutors obtained a search warrant to obtain information from Trump's personal Twitter account.
- Twitter's legal team argued that it needed to inform Trump of the warrant.
- The judge asked if this was a result of Twitter owner Elon Musk trying to "cozy up" to Trump.
A federal judge wondered aloud during a hearing with Twitter's counsel if Elon Musk, the company's owner, was trying to "cozy up" with former President Donald Trump by slowing the company's response to Special Counsel Jack Smith's demands.
