News reports state that Trump and, in one account, his staff were defendants in a lawsuit concerning advance notifications or premium access to Truth Social posts.

The reporting
What the Evidence Shows
What is established
The lawsuit was reported as a response to a plan announced by the parent company of Trump's Truth Social platform to charge for early access to the president's posts.
Context and caveats
The submission omits material details: the reported arrangement concerned a service or plan, was aimed at investors, included posts from other officials, and was priced at up to $100,000 per month.
The approved evidence establishes the lawsuit and the allegations about the proposed access service, but it does not establish that Trump personally sold access or report the lawsuit's outcome.
