Media Suing Trump Over Paid Early Access
Two media organizations have filed a lawsuit against U.S. President Donald Trump. They allege that the "Truth Social" service provided by the Trump Media & Technology Group charges up to $100,000 per month for early access to his important accounts, including Trump's own account. The lawsuit, submitted to the federal court in Manhattan, questions the legality of this service, claiming it violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution because it distinguishes between the general public and public figures by selling access to Trump's posts. If the fee continues to be imposed, the lawsuit aims to stop the platform from publishing official government advertisements. It also seeks to prevent Trump from profiting from his posts, which number over 9,000 during his presidency and are often not accompanied by official White House statements.
