The Supreme Court ruled on June 11, 2026, in favor of former Twitter employee Ahmad Abouammo regarding the venue for his trial related to selling company secrets to a Saudi official. The Court determined that the indictment must be filed in the district where the crime occurred, which was Seattle, rather than where the investigation began. This ruling is viewed as a check on prosecutorial venue manipulation.
