First, I’m not sure they’re gonna find anything.
Second, is that even admissible without a warrant?
Spoken in a Hispanic male voice…..warrant? We don’t need no stinking warrant!
Sounds like a 4th amendment violation
FISA over-rules, doesn’t it?

Given the way the expert witness is described, and the likely course of events that day, I don't think they'll argue that the cell-phone evidence was proof of some sort of insurrection as much as they want to show Trump as an aloof social-media addict who was looking up memes and tweeting while congress burned (to paraphrase Tacitus).
They wouldn't have entered this into evidence if they didn't have that warrant, and considering how the DoJ has pursued and persecuted nonviolent protestors for years after the fact, and how DC judges and juries have been convicting them to the hilt, it's pretty easy to believe they found a lawyer in the DoJ to go before a DC judge to approve whatever warrant they needed.
A secret warrant was granted. Twitter was fined $350,000 for a delay while the protested the warrant.

The warrant also included anyone who subscribed, unsubscribed, mentioned Trump, liked, commented, or retweeted one of his posts during a 4 month period. It is a bit vague on 2nd-hand or third-hand interactions, but does include the mere mention of Trump or his Twitter account.
