Former President Donald Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, is locked in a bitter battle with one of its vendors.
On Thursday, Fox Business Network reported that a vendor claims that the outlet is stiffing the company out of more than $1 million in contractually obligated payments.
Additionally, the report speculates that if the information is accurate, Truth Social’s finances are in a substantial mess, people with a direct understanding of the matter say.
Internet infrastructure company RightForge is said to be among Truth Social’s most prominent vendors and creditors.
RightForge CEO Martin Avila refused to comment “on any private matters” but wouldn’t deny the disagreement between the two entities.
He added, “Our founding vision is to make a second internet to support American ideas online. RightForge believes in the mission of President Trump’s free speech platform and wish to continue supporting the president in his media endeavors.”
A spokesperson for Truth Social also would not deny the matter when contacted by FOX Business, and a Trump representative had no comment.
