Supreme Court dismisses case challenging Trump Twitter blocks

Published April 5, 2021 1:45pm ET



The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a case challenging former President Donald Trump for blocking people on Twitter.

The court sent the case back to an appeals court and ordered it be dismissed as moot. The case is one of the last Trump-era lawsuits to be tossed after the president left office. The court earlier this year declined a case alleging that Trump had violated the obscure emoluments clause of the Constitution through his dealing at the Washington, D.C., Trump Hotel.
