Digital World board members get subpoena over Trump's social media deal

Earlier this month, the company reported that the U.S Securities and Exchange Commision (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority probing the deal had also sought more information.

Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) and Digital World Acquisition Corp said in October last year, they would merge to create a social media app called TRUTH Social.

Shares of Digital World Acquisition fell 6% in premarket trading after the company said in a regulatory filing that it became aware that a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York has issued subpoenas to its board of directors.

The latest subpoenas sought the same documents as the SEC probe as well as requests relating to the company’s S-1 filings, communications with or about multiple individuals, according to the filing.

On June 24, Digital World received a grand jury subpoena with substantially similar requests, it added.
