Re #Trump’s claims that #JackieSmith’s filing is in violation of the #DOJ’s 60 day before an election policy is BS. The DOJ's "60-day rule" applies to bringing NEW indictments in the days leading up to an #election, it is not relevant to the #ElectionInterference / #ElectionSubversion / #Jan6 / #FakeElectors #criminal #conspiracy case.

This is NOT a new #indictment. It is a #filing in regard to a VERY OLD indictment. Trump was first indicted in this case in Aug 2023.

The #filing argued that #legal principles, historical evidence & sound policy reasons establish that once fmr presidents leave office, they are subject to federal #criminal prosecution “like >330M other Americans, including Members of Congress, federal judges, & everyday citizens.”

The #filing marks the 1st ofcl confirmation of the extent of the #FTC’s initial findings of its probe into whether the co was #violating the terms of a #settlement #Twitter made to address allegations that it collected #user #data #deceptively. FTC orders are among the most critical #enforcement tools that the #federal govt has to hold #SiliconValley accountable, & Facebook in 2019 had to pay a multibillion #fine to the agency for violating the #terms of its own #privacy agreement w/the agency.

#Musk violated #FTC #privacy order
#DOJ says in response to #motion from #X asking that the #consent decree be dismissed

#ElonMusk repeatedly made #business decisions after his #takeover of #Twitter last year that #violated the co’s internal #policies & likely ran afoul of a 2022 govt #order that put sweeping restrictions on the co’s #data #security & privacy practices, acc/to #depositions from fmr employees that the #DOJ published in a #court #filing Tues.
