Former President Donald Trump narrowly avoided a contempt of court ruling in the ongoing litigation concerning his Truth Social platform. However, a Delaware judge issued a stern warning regarding his legal maneuvers, describing them as “deeply disappointing.” The judge indicated that such tactics would not be tolerated in the future.
The litigation originates from a suit filed by co-founders Andy Litinsky and Wess Moss, who are attempting to prevent the dilution of their 8.6% stake in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., the company behind Truth Social. According to the lawsuit, Trump and his attorneys engaged in dubious tactics, including the filing of a competing lawsuit in Florida aimed at eliminating the co-founders’ stakes.
The Delaware judge’s criticism focused on these actions, emphasizing the need for adherence to ethical legal standards. While the judge did not impose immediate sanctions, she highlighted that any continued misconduct would result in more severe consequences for Trump’s legal team.
