Story summary

U.S. President Donald Trump’s Truth Social will launch a Truth PSI subscription next month that gives Wall Street firms millisecond-early access to his posts.
Senator Elizabeth Warren and attorney Granville Martin said the scheme exploits the presidency, enriches Wall Street, and institutionalizes privileged access that could harm small investors.
Former SEC adviser Corey Frayer warned that without independent regulation Congress may be the only venue to hold the president accountable.

Historical Context

The 1972 Watergate break-in, when five burglars were caught planting bugs at the DNC and sparked the 1978 Ethics in Government Act, showed how privileged information can be weaponized. Today, the Truth PSI service promises to feed Donald Trump’s posts to Wall Street firms before they go public, echoing the same concern over political intel for profit.
