Suit alleges subscription offer aims to sell privileged access to information generated in president’s official capacity
Donald Trump has been sued after a subscription service charging up to $100,000 a month for early access to his posts on his Truth Social platform sparked allegations of corruption.
The lawsuit, filed in the US district court for the southern district of New York, was brought by the Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation against Trump, two of his aides and the executive office of the president.
It targets “Truth API”, a paid data feed launched on 1 August by the Trump Media & Technology Group, the company behind Truth Social. The complaint calls the arrangement “extraordinary, corrupt and unconstitutional”.
Anyone with a functioning brain can see this is exactly what this scheme is. The pedophile belongs in prison, yet again.
The court has previously ruled that the president isn’t allowed to block Americans on social media. Hard to see how selling early access to his posts is in the interest of free speech or the American people.
I’m glad the courts are still counting balls and strikes in this game of football.
Is there a subscription service I can sign up for to never hear about or see trump ever again?
That doesn’t require a subscription but it comes with a catch. It’s a one time fee and the price is high. The tradeoff is that you’ll hear a lot ABOUT him for awhile after; but you’ll never have to hear FROM him ever again.
“sparked allegations of corruption”? Motherfucker this is Tier 1 corrupt. I don’t know if there is a textbook definition of corruption but if not, this is it
