# Trump sued over $100,000 Truth Social early access plan 2026-08-12T18:16:47+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Two US media groups, The Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation, sued President Donald Trump on Wednesday over Trump Media and Technology Group's paid service that gives subscribers seconds-early access to his Truth Social posts. The lawsuit, filed in a New York federal court, calls the scheme 'profoundly corrupt' and unconstitutional. It says early access to Trump's often market-moving posts, which have covered everything from Iran developments to trade tariffs, gives paying clients an unfair financial edge over the public. The service, called Truth API and launched in mid-July, costs up to $100,000 per month. More than ten firms have already signed up, the lawsuit says. Trump Media and Technology Group has defended the product, saying it is designed for businesses that need quicker data feeds. ## Coverage - livemint.com - ndtv.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Donald Trump, insider trading, lawsuit, media, Truth Social, United States Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-sued-over-paid-early-access-to-truth-social-posts/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
