Two US media groups on Wednesday sued President Donald Trump over his move to charge for early access to his often market-moving Truth Social posts.
The lawsuit, filed in New York by The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation, states that the scheme is “extraordinary, corrupt and unconstitutional.”
Subscribers to the paid service are supposed to get almost instantaneous access to Trump’s messages on the Truth Social platform — crucial seconds ahead of the general public.
The billionaire Republican often uses the platform to announce huge news, ranging from developments in the Iran war to trade tariffs.
