АНУ-ын сенатчид “Truth Social” платформ дээрх мэдээллийг төлбөртэйгөөр түргэн шуурхай худалдаалах нь зах зээлийн шударга өрсөлдөөнд сөргөөр нөлөөлж болзошгүй хэмээн үзэж, мөрдөн шалгахыг холбогдох байгууллагаас шаарджээ.
АНУ-ын сенатч Элизабет Уоррен, Адам Шифф нар “Trump Media & Technology Group” (TMTG) компанийн хэрэгжүүлэх гэж буй “Truth API” үйлчилгээтэй холбоотой асуудлаар Үнэт цаас, биржийн хороонд (SEC) долдугаар сарын 28-нд албан бичиг илгээв. Уг үйлчилгээ нь Дональд Трамп болон бусад нөлөө бүхий хүмүүсийн “Truth Social” дээрх нийтлэлийг арилжааны пүүсүүдэд хамгийн хурдан хугацаанд, төлбөртэйгөөр дамжуулах зорилготой юм. Сенатчдын үзэж буйгаар, энэ нь Ерөнхийлөгчийн албан тушаалыг хувийн ашиг сонирхолд ашиглаж буй үйлдэл бөгөөд хөрөнгийн зах зээлийн шударга байдлыг алдагдуулж болзошгүй аж.
“Truth API” үйлчилгээний сарын хураамж 100,000 ам.долларт хүрэх төлөвтэй байгаа бөгөөд наймдугаар сарын 1-нээс эхлэн үйлчлүүлэгчдэд хүргэхээр төлөвлөжээ. Дональд Трамп нь тус компанийн хувьцааны 41 хувийг эзэмшдэг тул уг төлбөртэй үйлчилгээнээс шууд ашиг хүртэх боломжтой юм. Түүний сошиал медиа дахь байр суурь нь зах зээлийн хөдөлгөөнд нөлөөлдөг тул энэхүү мэдээллийн давуу тал нь томоохон хөрөнгө оруулагчид болон санхүүгийн байгууллагуудад илүү ашигтай нөхцөлийг бүрдүүлэх эрсдэлтэй гэж сенатчид анхаарууллаа.
Ёс зүйн шинжээчид Дональд Трампын нийтлэлүүд нь төрийн мэдээллийн шинжтэй тул олон нийтэд нээлттэй байх ёстой гэж үзэж байна. Сенатчид өмнө нь Дональд Трамп “Truth Social” платформыг ашиглан тодорхой компаниудын хувьцааны ханшид нөлөөлж байсныг сануулж, энэ нь дотоод мэдээлэл ашиглан арилжаа хийх эрсдэлийг нэмэгдүүлж байгааг онцолжээ. SEC-ийн зүгээс уг албан бичгийг хүлээн авснаа баталсан ч одоогоор дэлгэрэнгүй тайлбар өгөөгүй байна.

Democratic senators Elizabeth Warren and Adam Schiff have formally requested the U.S. securities regulator to investigate whether Trump Media’s plan to sell early access to President Donald Trump’s social media posts violates federal law.
The senators’ concerns, detailed in a letter reviewed by Reuters, center on potential abuses of office and market integrity.
Trump Media, known as TMTG, recently unveiled a paid, licensed data feed designed to offer trading firms “the fastest” access to posts from the ten most influential accounts on Truth Social, including those made by Trump.

In their July 28 letter to Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, Warren and Schiff stated, “This appears to be an outrageous abuse of the President’s office for his personal benefit that undermines everyday investors and the integrity of our markets, while enriching Wall Street and other wealthy insiders.”
A spokesperson for the SEC and Chairman Atkins confirmed receipt of the letter but declined further comment. Atkins, a free-market Republican appointed to his role by Trump, is known for generally adopting a softer stance on enforcement.
Neither TMTG nor the White House immediately responded to requests for comment regarding the allegations.
Early Truth Social access, for a price
The “Truth API” product, as it’s known, has reportedly been discussed with a potential price tag of up to $100,000 per month. Media outlets, including Reuters, have highlighted that Trump’s social media posts have historically influenced market movements. The profitability of numerous top trading firms, hedge funds, and financial services companies often hinges on the speed with which they can act on such news.

Trump, who holds approximately 41% of Trump Media through a trust overseen by his children, stands to directly benefit from this paid access model. The company has indicated it has already secured customers ahead of the product’s August 1 launch, though it has not disclosed their identities.

Warren and Schiff contend that the Truth API represents the latest instance of Trump intertwining his personal business interests with presidential affairs, thereby raising significant ethical questions. They cited, for example, Trump’s report last month of receiving over $1.4 billion last year from his family’s cryptocurrency projects.
While legal experts suggest that tech platforms are generally permitted to offer clients early data access, even if it creates a disadvantage for some market participants, ethics experts view the Truth API differently. They argue that Donald Trump’s posts constitute government information, which he has an obligation to disseminate publicly.

The senators also pointed to Donald Trump’s past use of Truth Social to endorse specific stocks, such as Citigroup, Intel, and Palantir. They warned that such actions heighten the risk of insider trading and erode investor confidence in the fairness and level playing field of the market.
