Trump Sued Over Selling Early Access to Truth Social Posts The latest salvo in the ongoing struggle to keep former President Donald Trump's post presidency free from profiteering has landed squarely in federal court.
The lawsuit, filed by the Freedom of the Press Foundation and news outlet The Intercept, targets Trump's paid service, Truth API, which offers subscribers early access to his posts about U. S. policy.
The plaintiffs argue that Trump's agreement to publish updates concerning tariffs, war, and government actions first on his platform violates two fundamental principles: equal access to information and fair conditions for government benefits.
