Trump sued over $100,000 Truth Social plan for early access to market-moving posts: ‘Profoundly corrupt’
Two US media groups have sued President Trump over his company’s plan to charge for early access to his Truth Social posts, claiming it is unconstitutional and corrupt.
Two US media groups, The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation, filed a lawsuit against Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) on Wednesday alleging that the company's plan to charge for early access to Trump's often market-moving posts on Truth Social is "profoundly corrupt" and unconstitutional. The lawsuit, filed in New York, states that Trump stands to gain financially from providing market-moving government information to those willing to pay his personal company. The lawsuit claims that the scheme is extraordinary, corrupt and unconstitutional.
