Online news site The Intercept sued President Donald Trump and members of his staff to challenge their plan to monetize the president's posts.

Donald Trump launched a $100,000 monthly subscription service for early access to his posts.

The lawsuit argues the president is restricting public access to government information in a scheme to enrich himself.

Truth Social began offering Truth API on Aug. 1 to users who pay up to $100,000 a month for instant access to Trump's posts.
