PoliticsJudge weighs whether Trump can charge $100,000 for early access to Truth Social posts
A federal judge is expected to rule in the coming weeks on whether Trump can profit from selling early access to government information through his social media posts. At Wednesday’s hearing, a Justice Department lawyer argued there was no conflict in Trump charging up to $100,000 a month for instant API access to Truth Social posts. Trump is the majority owner of its parent company, and the access derives much of its value from his presidential role.
