New court papers show there were concerns that notifying the former president about a search warrant would have given him 'an opportunity to destroy evidence.'

On Wednesday, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia unsealed a decision that upheld the D.C. District Court's ruling granting special counsel's team a search warrant for @realDonaldTrump as part of the probe into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

The dispute was brought to light after X appealed the district court's decision to issue the warrant. The dispute also indicated that prosecutors obtained permission from the judge to keep the warrant outside of Trump's knowledge because of fears that he might destroy evidence from his social media account that wasn't posted publicly.
