A lawsuit has been filed against Trump Media & Technology Group Corp, alleging that its paid service offering early access to President Donald Trump's Truth Social posts violates constitutional rights. The service, known as Truth API, allows subscribers to access market-moving posts about U.S. policy on war, tariffs, and other issues milliseconds before others. Plaintiffs argue this creates an unfair advantage and breaches the First Amendment by granting priority access to news generated by the president. The lawsuit also targets Trump's exclusive six-hour window to share posts on his platform, claiming it violates the Fifth Amendment. Trump Media, which has faced financial struggles with its stock price dropping below $10, defends the service as standard industry practice. The case, filed in New York federal court, names Trump, his deputy chief of staff Daniel Scavino, and executive assistant Natalie Harp as defendants. Critics argue the service enables profiting from the presidency, similar to Trump's cryptocurrency ventures. The lawsuit seeks to compel Trump Media to halt the service and stop exclusive distribution of official government information.
