新闻自由基金会和The Intercept在纽约联邦法院起诉特朗普及其特朗普媒体科技集团，指控其推出的付费服务违反美国宪法第一和第五修正案[1]。该服务名为Truth API，向付费客户提前数毫秒披露特朗普和副总统万斯等人发布的政策信息，月费高达10万美元[1]。
起诉方、新闻自由基金会倡导事务主管塞思·斯特恩称这一做法属于"明目张胆的腐败且违宪"[1]。被告包括特朗普、白宫副幕僚长丹尼尔·斯卡维诺和行政助理娜塔莉·哈普，起诉书要求关停该服务[1]。特朗普通过信托持有特朗普媒体科技集团超过40%的股份[1]。
The Freedom of the Press Foundation and The Intercept have filed a lawsuit in federal court in New York challenging a paid service offered through President Trump's social media platform Truth Social [1]. The service, called Truth API, charges subscribers $100,000 per month to receive policy announcements from Trump and Vice President Vance several milliseconds before the general public [1].
The plaintiffs argue that the paid priority access system violates the First and Fifth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and have called for the service to be shut down [1]. Seth Stern, policy director at the Freedom of the Press Foundation, characterized the arrangement as "blatant corruption and unconstitutional" [1]. The lawsuit names Trump, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Daniel Scavino, and administrative assistant Natalie Harp as defendants [1]. Trump holds more than 40 percent of Trump Media & Technology Group through a trust arrangement [1].
