Trump sued over Truth Social advance access sale

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, notes that Trump's posts on his own social media site often move financial markets.

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.
