Trump’s Truth Social Sues Washington Post for Over $3 BillionAn image of former President Donald Trump next to a phone screen that is displaying the Truth Social app in Washington, on Feb. 21, 2022. It accuses The Washington Post of defamation in connection with a May 13 article labeled in the complaint as an “egregious hit piece” that poses an “existential threat” to Trump’s company. The suit alleges that the Washington Post article titled “Trust linked to porn-friendly bank could gain a stake in Trump’s Truth Social” includes a series of “materially false” statements that accused the Trump-owned company of fraud and other wrongdoing. A man walks into the Washington Post building in Washington on May 16, 2019. Truth Social was launched last year as an alternative to social media platforms Twitter and Facebook.
