Judge weighs whether Trump can charge $100K for early access to Truth Social posts

Federal Judge Paul Oetken is deciding whether Trump can charge up to $100,000 a month for instant API access to his Truth Social posts. News groups say the fees violate the First and Fifth Amendments and the Presidential Records Act, while the DOJ compares the posts to FDR's fireside chats.

• API access to Truth Social posts costs up to $100,000 per month
• A single subscriber could pay up to $1.2 million a year
• Plaintiffs cite First and Fifth Amendment and Presidential Records Act violations
• Judge Oetken did not rule from the bench; a written decision is expected in weeks
