Trump Media & Technology Group has introduced a paid “Truth API” offering institutional investors, brokers and high-frequency trading firms millisecond-early access to Truth Social posts from high-profile users, including former President Donald Trump. The service, priced up to $100,000 a month, is marketed as a tool for acting quickly on market-moving political statements. Securities law experts say the model may violate insider trading rules and erode market fairness. Democratic senators have asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to open an immediate investigation into the product’s legality.
