Trump Insists He’ll Keep Trump Media Stake

November 8, 2024 at 2:03 pm ET By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Donald Trump is doubling down on his plans to hold on to his roughly $3.5 billion stake in the parent company of Truth Social, just days after winning back the White House,” Politico reports.

Said Trump: “Those rumors or statements are false. I hereby request that the people who have set off these fake rumors or statements, and who may have done so in the past, be immediately investigated by the appropriate authorities.”

Rolling Stone: Trump is already calling on more people to be investigated.
