Trump’s social media company went public relying partly on loans from trust managed by person of interest to prosecutors
Donald Trump’s social media company Trump Media managed to go public last week only after it had been kept afloat in 2022 by emergency loans provided in part by a Russian-American businessman under scrutiny in a federal insider-trading and money-laundering investigation.
The former US president stands to gain billions of dollars – his stake is currently valued at about $4bn – from the merger between Trump Media and Technology Group and the blank-check company Digital World Acquisition Corporation, which took the parent company of Truth Social public.
…
Through leaked documents, the Guardian has learned that ES Family Trust operated like a shell company for a Russian-American businessman named Anton Postolnikov, who co-owns Paxum Bank and has been a subject of a years-long joint federal criminal investigation by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into the Trump Media merger.

totally not a security risk that a guy that wants to be president recieves financial support from known adversaries.
im sure the GOP would be totally silent if biden had received hundreds of millions of dollars from russians over the last decade. totally fine.
Hence the impeachment witch hunt. Find Biden getting money from foreign governments, then scream “see your guy does it to, so us doing it is totally justified”
“we’re doing it, so they MUST be doing it too”
Some of the original money came from China.
From: Reuters, Newsweek, Financial Times, AlJazeera, Wikipedia, etc.
Bonus is that they have a history of SEC investigations. I’m sure that’s nothing though.
Jesus fuck. Republicans are worthless traitor filth and should be dealt with as such.
We’re going to be learning of new shit Trump got away with long after the worms have cleaned his skull of meat.
In Minecraft.
Hopefully we’ll still live in a free county and not a Russian style democracy by then.
“A republic,” replied the doctor, “if you can keep it.”
It feels like “Red Dawn” now. You have to tiptoe around the Make America Go Away crowd every day.
I’ve never seen this. But looking at the Wikipedia description, it seems odd that this was considered a great “conservative” film.
“Russia, Russia, Russia! That’s all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax…And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.
I’m so tired of this stupid asshole. That’s right, Russia, Russia, Russia because you have so many shady ties to Russia.
The main Russian news organization is call “Pravda”, which is Russian for “Truth”. Their social media arm therefore, translated to English, would probably be called “Truth Social”.
Hang on a second here - what, Trump has some kind of . . . what, like, ties to russia???
Waiting to hear about the personal loan given to him by Putin directly.
But he put “Not Bribe” in the memo line, so it’s all above board.
DOJ: Ugh if only there was something we could do to stop this guy. Oh well
People still vote for him because they hate democrats with a passion. They turn a blind eye to everything drumpf does
They’re mindless automatons, programmed by their republican overlords, who themselves are happy to sell out their country to the highest bidder.
Nothing can save it from Wall Street though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
