Two media organizations accuse Trump of giving paying customers preferential access to official government information in violation of the U.S. Constitution, according to the lawsuit.
Truth Social parent TMTG promoted the product as a B2B data feed that delivers Truth Social posts to our customers in “milliseconds.” The acting head of TMTG, Kevin McGurn, recently stated that Truth Social had already won more than ten customers for the controversial quick access.
