President Trump’s Truth Social firm — Trump Media & Technology Group Corp — is suing 20 corporate media organizations, claiming a coordinated attack involving the false reporting of a $73 million loss by the firm.
In truth, they claim, “This number was an utter fabrication,” designed to cause harm.
“This was a coordinated effort to damage TMTG’s reputation, degrade the firm’s financial standing, freeze its access to capital, and torpedo the anticipated merger,” the complaint asserts.
TMTG is seeking $1.5bn in damages, explaining that they first contacted the media outlets listed, though no substantial corrections nor apologies for the false reports were made.
The outlets being sued are:
- The Guardian;
- The Hollywood Reporter
- McClatchy
- Alex Mena
- Reuters
- Rolling Stone
- Nexstar
- Deadline Hollywood
- Accretive Capital
- MarketWatch
- Forbes
