Trump Sued Over $100,000-Per-Month Plan to Sell Advance Access to Truth Social Posts

President Donald Trump was sued Wednesday by two media organizations seeking to block a new service that charges $100,000 per month for advance access to his Truth Social posts. The plaintiffs, The Intercept Media and the nonprofit Freedom of the Press Foundation, filed the complaint in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, calling the plan "extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional." The lawsuit argues that Trump's Truth Social posts frequently move financial markets by announcing government policy, military actions, and other decisions, and that selling early access to that information violates the First Amendment by denying journalists and the public equal access to official communications.

The suit names Trump and Trump Media and Technology Group, the publicly traded company that owns Truth Social.
