- The Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation filed a federal lawsuit against President Donald Trump and White House aides Natalie Harp and Dan Scavino over a proposed early-access service for Truth Social posts.
- The lawsuit seeks to stop a service called Trump API, which would charge users up to $100,000 per month for advance access to market-moving official government announcements.
- Plaintiffs argue that giving paying subscribers exclusive early access to public presidential information is corrupt and violates the First Amendment.
- In addition to Trump, Scavino, the White House and the Executive Office of the President, the suit points to Harp, 35, as the “primary” staffer helping Trump post on his social media account.
- A federal judge has not yet ruled on the lawsuit's request to declare the practice unconstitutional, and the White House declined to comment on the matter.
