Trump sued over "brazen" scheme to sell Truth Social API access for $100K a month

Americas 5 sources 3 countries 21m ago

A federal lawsuit has been filed against Donald Trump and his media company regarding the 'Truth API,' a service that provides paid, real-time access to posts from the former president and other prominent users on the Truth Social platform. The plaintiffs, identified as nonprofit news groups, allege that the scheme is a 'brazen' effort to profit from preferential access to government-related information, arguing that the practice violates the Constitution.

While the legal challenge focuses on the ethical and constitutional implications of selling such access, representatives from Trump Media have confirmed that the service has already secured more than 10 customers. The subscription-based model charges users $100,000 per month for the expedited data stream, positioning the platform as a commercial enterprise centered on the dissemination of high-profile social media content.
