What happened
Judge questioned if Trump delaying access to Truth Social posts by a second harms the press. At a hearing Wednesday, Department of Justice civil attorney Brantley Mayers argued that there was no conflict whatsoever with Trump charging up to $100,000 monthly for instant API (the interface one piece of software uses to talk to another) access to Truth Social posts that often break news from his administration.
