Donald Trump‘s social media company sued The Washington Post for $3.8 billion in a defamation lawsuit, claiming that the publication made false and defamatory statements against it.
The company also alleges that The Post conspired with an ex-Truth Social employee who shared documents to create a "fraudulent narrative about securities fraud."

The lawsuit was filed after The Post published an article titled “Trust linked to the porn-friendly bank could gain a stake in Trump's Truth Social" earlier this month, that alleged that the bank, ES Family Trust, could obtain a large stake in TMTG.
It also said that the former president's company purportedly provided a $240,000 finder’s fee to the ES Family Trust for facilitating the $8 million loan agreement, an amount the company said it never paid.
