Truth Social Sells $100,000 Early Trump Post Access as Lawsuit Alleges Constitutional, Securities Breaches

Summary
A lawsuit filed this week targets Truth Social’s “Truth API,” which sells paying customers advance access to Donald Trump’s posts and other high-profile accounts.
Up to $100,000 a month buys early access to 10 accounts, a product plaintiffs say gives privileged access to public, potentially market-moving statements in violation of the First Amendment.
Legal experts also warn the service could run afoul of securities laws if traders use Trump’s posts before the broader public sees them.
The controversy lands as Trump Media faces renewed questions about its financial stability, stock performance and the platform’s broader relevance.
