The US special counsel investigating Donald Trump obtained a secret search warrant for the ex-president's Twitter data in January, unsealed records show.
Jack Smith requested "data and records" relating to Mr Trump's account which may have included unpublished posts.
After initially resisting the warrant, Twitter eventually complied, but missed a court-ordered deadline by three days.
The delay resulted in the company being handed a $350,000 (£275,000) fine for contempt of court.
The existence of the search warrant and the legal fight over it was revealed in court documents unsealed on Wednesday.
According to the unsealed ruling, which still includes some redactions, Twitter's lawyers did not object to the warrant itself, but disputed the nondisclosure order which kept it secret.

The man charged with the murder of a 9-year-old Chicago girl was denied bond on Tuesday.
Despite being shot in the face during the weekend incident, 43-year-old Michael Goodman appeared in-person at the Leighton Criminal Courts building Tuesday afternoon.
He was dressed in a black T-shirt and green shorts.
The left side of his face was still healing from the incident.
No motive for the shooting was revealed during the hearing, but a Cook County judge did deny Goodman bond.
The defendant's public defender did not comment after the hearing, but in court asked for a reasonable bond, saying that her client has no criminal history.
Family and friends gathered near Serabi Medina's home in Portage Park Monday night for a vigil in her honor.

The suspect's mother said her son goes to church so he couldn't have committed the alleged anti-gay hate crime.
The 17-year-old who was arrested in connection to the stabbing death of a gay man is apparently “a good Christian boy,” according to his attorney.
According to witnesses and security camera footage, 28-year-old professional dancer and gay man O’Shea Sibley was voguing to a song from Beyoncé’s Rennaissance album in pink shorts at a gas station in Brooklyn on July 29 when a group of young men told him to stop. One witness said that the young men cited their Muslim faith as a reason that Sibley had to stop dancing, and others said that they used anti-gay and anti-Black slurs.
“There were a lot of anti-gay statements and derogatory anti-Black statements,” Assistant Chief of the NYPD detective bureau Joseph Kenny said on Saturday. “There were a lot of people from the community acting like peacemakers.”
On Friday, 17-year-old Dmitriy Popov was arrested in connection to the killing and now faces charges of murder as a hate crime and criminal possession of a weapon after he turned himself in to police through his lawyers. This was after he tried to evade law enforcement for a week by shaving his head and turning off his phone.

A formerly well-connected GOP donor convicted of giving teenage girls gifts, alcohol and money in exchange for sex was sentenced Wednesday to 21 years in prison on sex trafficking charges.
Anton “Tony” Lazzaro was found guilty in March by a federal jury of seven counts involving “commercial sex acts” with five girls ages 15 and 16 in 2020, when Lazzaro was 30. The charges carried mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years with a maximum of life in prison.
Prosecutors had requested a 30-year sentence for Lazzaro. They likened Lazzaro to financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 on federal charges accusing him of paying underage girls for massages and then abusing them at his homes in Florida and New York. The defense asked for no more than 10 years.

Trump, who has frequently expressed disdain for America and Americans, made the confession during a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Tuesday as he griped about the criminal charges against him and lamented ever getting into politics.
“I could have been relaxing at Mar-a-Lago or in the south of France ― which I would prefer to being in this country, frankly.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday suspended Monique Worrell, the state attorney for Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit, accusing her of under-prosecuting criminals in her jurisdiction.
An executive order signed by DeSantis and Secretary of State Cord Byrd accused Worrell of “systematically” allowing criminals to evade incarceration, either by dropping charges or declining to allege provable facts.
Worrell, a Democratic elected official who took office in 2021, accused DeSantis of peddling a “false narrative” and engaging in “political gamesmanship.”
“We all know that this is not about policy or anything that I’ve actually done,” she said.

Donald Trump’s lawyer John Lauro spent the weekend shouting from the rooftops that he intends to try the January 6 case in the court of public opinion, rather than in the US District Court of the District of Columbia.
In the course of a “full Ginsburg” on the Sunday news shows, he spouted a litany of bizarre claims about “aspirational” coups, “technical violations” of the Constitution, and transferring the trial to West Virginia for “diversity.” And he whined into each and every microphone about the gross unfairness of the government’s proposed protective order, which would bar Trump from publishing discovery materials on social media.
“What the Biden administration is trying to do is prevent the press from learning about exculpatory and helpful information, evidence that the people have a right to know about,” he huffed on ABC.
