Donald Trump is being sued by two US media groups over a new Truth Social service that charges up to $100,000 (£74,000) a month for early access to his posts.

that → sue → posts
The lawsuit was filed on Wednesday in New York federal court by The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation.

lawsuit → file → Press
The suit argues that selling priority access to the president's messages raises serious concerns, external, describing it as "extraordinary, corrupt and unconstitutional".
Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) said the lawsuit was brought by "left-wing activists" seeking to censor the president.

The paid Truth Social service offers subscribers near-instant delivery of Trump's posts, arriving seconds before they appear for the general public.
asserted
they → offer → public
The plaintiffs say those moments matter because Trump often uses the platform to announce major developments, such as during the Iran war, that can move financial markets.
asserted
that → say → markets
They argue the setup gives an unfair advantage to those who can afford it, creating a system where market-sensitive information reaches paying clients first.

The company unveiled the service, called Truth API, in mid-July and said it would deliver posts from Trump and other high-profile accounts in milliseconds.

asserted
who → follow → million
Seth Stern, chief of advocacy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation's, said Trump selling priority access to news he generates, for the benefit of a private company he controls, is "so blatantly corrupt and unconstitutional that it would have been hard to even fathom just a few years ago".
asserted
it → say → company
And David Bralow, chief legal officer at The Intercept, said: "Nothing could be more antithetical to the free, independent press than the president charging for early access to his public announcements."
uncertain
president → say → announcements
The lawsuit described Truth API as a "scheme" and a money-making opportunity, noting that Trump holds the largest stake in TMTG through a revocable trust that owns about 41% of the company – a stake worth more than $1 billion.
asserted
that → describe → company
Responding to the lawsuit, a TMTG spokesperson said: "Information from President Trump is disseminated by countless platforms and news outlets, many of which offer subscription APIs.
"
asserted
many → respond → APIs
One of those channels is Truth Social, which was founded as an uncancellable haven for free speech after the President was unjustly de-platformed.
