Press Groups Sue Over $100K/Month Paid Access to Trump's Truth Social Posts

FPF and The Intercept sued President Trump on August 12, 2026, in the Southern District of New York. They allege Truth Social's paid Truth API — $100,000 monthly for millisecond-faster access to presidential posts — creates wealth-based tiers for official communications, violating the First and Fifth Amendments. Yale's MFIA Clinic represents the plaintiffs. Aides Harp and Scavino are co-defendants; the suit seeks to end the paid API.
