The Intercept and Freedom of the Press Foundation have sued Donald Trump for allegedly selling prioritized access to his posts on Truth Social. The legal action argues that this practice undermines freedom of the press.

The lawsuit invokes the Fifth Amendment, which prohibits the government from imposing extortionate or unreasonable conditions on the availability of government benefits, according to El Universal.
