Trump Sued for Selling Access to Market-Influencing Statements

US President Donald Trump has been sued by two media outlets for selling access to his statements on his social media platform Truth Social. Truth Social is a platform owned by Trump, and the president shares his statements on this platform. However, these statements are shared with subscribers who pay a certain fee. The lawsuit claims that this practice is 'corrupt and unconstitutional'. The lawsuit highlights that Trump shares official government announcements, such as military operations, appointments, and foreign policy, only on Truth Social. The lawsuit also states that the president and some high-ranking officials charge up to $100,000 per month for 'early and faster access' to their messages that can influence the markets. The lawsuit demands that official government announcements should not be made only on a paid platform. It argues that the public and the press have the right to equal access to public information and that this right is being restricted, thus violating the Constitution.
