Donald Trump's social media company has started selling VIP access to his posts despite claims the service amounts to a "shocking abuse" of power.
Truth Social, the Twitter-like service where the president regularly posts updates, has started offering a high-speed feed to banks and high-frequency trading firms.
The service, which charges up to $100,000 (£74,000) a month, is designed to let paying customers trade on the data instantly.
Mr Trump owns a 41pc stake in Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social.
The plans to sell fast-lane access to his posts, first disclosed earlier in the summer, have provoked a backlash from Democrats who say Mr Trump is abusing his position to make money.
