Yeah, more like a Sports Illustrated model shoot, not that women don't golf, but those aren't spontaneous, much less candid.

The irony is rich: Truth Social, Donald Trump’s Twitter copycat claiming it is “free from political discrimination,” has reportedly banned users who posted information from Thursday’s congressional hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — in which the former president is a key focus.

That’s according to several posts on Twitter by users who claimed Truth Social was censoring them. Reps for Trump Media & Technology Group, which owns and operates Truth Social, did not respond to a request for comment.

Travis Allen, whose Twitter bio describes him as an information security analyst, on Thursday evening posted a screenshot from the Truth Social app that said “Account suspended,” and he wrote: “My Truth Social account was just permanently suspended for talking about the January 6th Committee hearings.”

Devin Nunes says stories in the media that Truth Social is banning people who post about the J6 hearings is fake news.

I dunno if they are banning people for it, but they are definitely deleting it. Among other things they delete. They have a heavy hand over there.

Naah. Trump values loyalty to him much more than competence.

Seems to me that if this were about slaying Baal and Moloch, God wouldn't have sat around for fifty years waiting for an unrepentant adulterous disloyal cheat to appoint a trio of justices that proudly committed perjury to advance their careers to do it. :shrug: But Truth.

Interesting part from their 8k
https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/ed ... 380d8k.htm

They're under active investigation by the SEC.
As previously disclosed in Digital World’s Form 8-K filed on June 13, 2022, Digital World has been informed that it is the subject of an investigation pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Securities Act, with respect to the Registration Statement relating to its Business Combination. Digital World has also received several document requests and subpoenas from the SEC, seeking various documents and information regarding, among other things, Digital World’s due diligence regarding TMTG, communications regarding and due diligence of potential targets other than TMTG, relationships between and among Digital World (and/or certain of Digital World’s officers and directors) and other entities (including ARC Global Investments II LLC, Digital World’s sponsor, and certain advisors, including Digital World’s underwriter and financial advisor in its initial public offering). On June 16, 2022, Digital World became aware that a federal grand jury sitting in the Southern District of New York has issued subpoenas to each member of Digital World’s board of directors; the subpoenas seek certain of the same documents demanded in the above-referenced SEC subpoenas, along with requests relating to Digital World’s S-1 filings, communications with or about multiple individuals, and information regarding Rocket One Capital. Additionally, on June 24, 2022, Digital World received a grand jury subpoena with substantially similar requests. These subpoenas, and the underlying investigations by the Department of Justice and the SEC, can be expected to delay effectiveness of the Registration Statement, which could materially delay, materially impede, or prevent the consummation of the Business Combination.

Company behind Trump's Truth Social deal hit with federal grand jury subpoenas

The special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) behind former President Donald Trump's Truth Social platform has been hit with subpoenas by a federal grand jury.

As flagged by New York Times business reporter Matthew Goldstein, Digital World Acquisition said in a recent 8-K filing that earlier this month it "became aware that a federal grand jury sitting in the Southern District of New York has issued subpoenas to each member of Digital World’s board of directors."

The filing went on to state that the subpoenas are seeking "requests relating to Digital World’s S-1 filings, communications with or about multiple individuals, and information regarding Rocket One Capital," a Miami-based hedge fund.

The filing warns that these grand jury subpoenas "could materially delay, materially impede, or prevent the consummation" of the merger that's needed to fund Truth Social.
Impressive time of Startup to Supeonas on this one. Even for Tramp.

Reuters wrote:The former president has posted regularly on Truth Social since the beginning of May, sometimes multiple times a day. But the May 16 DWAC filing made clear how little control TMTG has over Trump’s social media activities. Trump is obligated to give Truth Social a six-hour exclusive on any post – except the posts that matter most to TMTG’s business. Trump is free to post “political messaging, political fundraising or get-out-the vote efforts” on any site, at any time, the filing said.

The agreement presents a “huge problem” for the company, said Munster, the venture capitalist. “It’s a problem because Trump is going to go where the audience is,” he said.

The company’s only defense against promiscuous posting by the former president, he said, is that Trump may benefit financially if Truth Social succeeds. But the “political messaging” clause is a signal of Trump’s lack of commitment to TMTG, Munster said.

Trump’s Truth Social just got a criminal subpoena over its dubious SPAC deal
Donald Trump’s Truth Social could be in trouble for securities violations.

Scott Nover
Published July 2, 2022

The parent company of Donald Trump’s Truth Social app was subpoenaed (pdf) on June 30 as part of a criminal investigation into its troubled attempt to go public through a blank-check company, Digital World Acquisition Corporation (DWAC).

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), which owns Truth Social, was subpoenaed for information about the deal along with unnamed current and former employees of TMTG. It’s unclear if Trump was among them.

DWAC disclosed its own criminal subpoenas earlier this week. The planned merger is also under a separate, active investigation by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra).

A possibly fraudulent SPAC

DWAC went public in September 2021. The US government is investigating whether or not DWAC had already held merger talks with TMTG before its own IPO. If it did so, both companies could be held in violation of federal securities laws.

In October 2021, the New York Times reported that Patrick Orlando, the CEO of DWAC, held business meetings and an investor presentation with Trump in March 2021, six months before the shell company went public. Soon after, US Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote a letter to the SEC urging it to investigate whether the deal broke securities laws. “The reports about DWAC and Trump Media and Technology Group appear to be a textbook example of a SPAC misleading shareholders and the public about materially important information,” Warren wrote in her November 2021 letter (pdf).

Trump started Truth Social in October 2021 after being kicked off of Twitter, Facebook, and many other social media websites for his role in egging on insurrectionists at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The company, led by former US Congressman Devin Nunes, has been plagued with technical problems, staff turnover, and a low user base.

Donald Trump removed himself from the board of his Sarasota-based social media company, records show, just weeks before the company was issued federal subpoenas by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and a grand jury in Manhattan.

Trump, the chairman of Trump Media and Technology Group, was one of six board members removed on June 8, state business records show.

Among the board members removed were Kashyap Patel, Trump's former point man in the White House; Scott Glabe, a former assistant to Trump who was counsel for the media company; and Donald Trump, Jr.

The SEC served Trump Media and Technology Group with a subpoena on June 27, according to a regulatory filing

Interesting. Jumping ship before really becoming liable for procedural errors :think:

FWIW the article has several links relating to Rumble, speculating that the former guy would switch platforms, especially if he actually views 2024.

At least Nunes got his Presidential Medal of Honor. He can hawk it to pay for his defense.
