Trump Ends Legal Dispute Over Ban from X (Formerly Twitter)

The lawsuit, which stemmed from Trump's 2021 ban following the Capitol riot, has been dismissed with both parties agreeing to cover their own legal costs.

• Donald Trump has voluntarily dropped his appeal in the lawsuit against X (formerly Twitter) over his account suspension after the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
• The lawsuit accused the platform of violating Trump's First Amendment rights, but a federal judge had dismissed the case in 2022.
• Elon Musk reinstated Trump's X account in November 2022 after acquiring the platform, though Trump primarily uses Truth Social for his posts.
• Both Trump and X agreed to bear their own legal costs, with no further details disclosed about the settlement terms.
• This dismissal follows Meta's recent $25 million settlement over a similar lawsuit related to Trump's bans on Facebook and Instagram.
