Lawsuit Filed to Block President Trump's Truth Social Early Access Subscription
The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation have filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block President Trump from offering early access to his social media posts on Truth Social for a monthly fee of up to $100,000. The service, known as Truth API, launched on August 1 and reportedly has over 10 paying customers. The plaintiffs argue that this scheme violates the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution by providing unequal access to official government information to those who pay President Trump's private company. President Trump uses his Truth Social account as his primary means of public communication and official announcements since returning to office. The lawsuit also highlights that President Trump holds the largest stake in Trump Media through The Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, making Truth API a significant profit-making opportunity for him.
