“The Supreme Court has declined to take up a challenge by X Corp. to the process by which special counsel Jack Smith obtained a secret search warrant for Donald Trump’s account data. The decision, for now, maintains the Justice Department’s use of a tool — known as a nondisclosure order or NDO — to prohibit third parties like telecom companies and social media providers from notifying subscribers when they receive a search warrant for their information. Prosecutors say nondisclosure orders, which must be approved by courts, are vital to prevent subjects of criminal probes from destroying evidence or influencing witnesses. By law, the orders are required to be time-limited and tailored narrowly, though X — represented by high-powered lawyers from WilmerHale — said NDOs are granted too easily and with few limits.” (10/07/24)
