They're not just trying to shut this account down. For months, they've been saying that they should gain control over the account so that they can post using his name and likeness.
They want to steal his face and wear him as a skin suit.
If they take it over, I promise they will have deleted the account within a few days. They can't survive on X for whatever reason. Which is weird cuz nothing really happens to them other than a million "fuck you" replies. But the journalists go private. The gov't doesn't, usually, on their official account ,however I doubt they want this one. That is my prediction.
I would guess the terms of X explain that X owns the account. They always say the author owns the data. So I suppose the gov't could take that? His old posts?
But definitely the government cannot keep X from removing the verification (since it is no longer one Alex Jones, and twitter accounts are supposed to be real (lol)). X could even ban the account. I would, on account of it being a sockpuppet hacked account.

I predict they won't actually be able to confiscate it because it's not even Alex Jones' property, and it has no inherent value.

Technically, if Alex isn't using it, it would be impersonation, so the account might get banned if they start using it.
