Donald Trump requested an en banc appeal to the federal appeals court in Washington DC after initially losing his case to block Biden hack Jack Smith from accessing his X feed for his January 6th case.

But the court denied his request and upheld their ruling:

FOX NEWS – A federal appeals court has rejected former President Trump’s request to block Special Counsel Jack Smith from accessing his Twitter feed, as part of his election interference case.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for Washington D.C. ruled on the matter and denied further review. The decision comes after an appellate panel had rejected Trump’s original request.

“Upon consideration of appellant’s petition for rehearing en banc, the response thereto, the amicus curiae brief filed by Electronic Frontier Foundation in support of rehearing en banc, and the absence of a request by any member of the court for a vote, it is ordered that the petition be denied,” the ruling states.

What this means is that Trump can now appeal to the Supreme Court to block access to it:

The former president and 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner can now ask the Supreme Court to review the matter.

Smith plans to use data from the cell phone former President Trump used in his final weeks in office — including data revealing when Trump’s phone was “unlocked and the Twitter application was open” on Jan. 6, 2021.

Unsealed court filings in August showed that Smith’s team obtained location data and draft tweets in addition to the former president’s messages.
