Two US media organizations, The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation, have filed a lawsuit in New York federal court against Donald Trump and his company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). The lawsuit alleges that TMTG's new Truth Social service, which charges up to $100,000 per month for early access to the president's posts, is "extraordinary, corrupt and unconstitutional".
The plaintiffs argue that selling priority access to Trump's messages creates an unfair advantage and can have significant consequences, as his announcements often impact financial markets. The plaintiffs claim that Trump is the largest stakeholder in TMTG, owning over 41% of the company and a trust worth more than $1 billion. The lawsuit calls the service a "scheme" and a money-making opportunity, and states that the president's actions are an affront to the free, independent press.
