Donald Trump Bailed On His Media Company Just Before Subpoenas Hit

According to new reports, Donald Trump abruptly left the board of his Trump Media & Technology Group just a few weeks before the company was hit with subpoenas. There's a chance that this was just coincidental timing for Trump, but there's also a chance that he read the writing on the wall with all of the investigations taking place into Digital World Acquisition. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's going on.

So an interesting development has happened with Donald Trump's, Trump media and technology group. And apparently this interesting thing actually happened a month ago. And that is that very quietly, Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr. Along with a couple other people, decided seemingly out of nowhere to just quit the company, they removed themselves from their leadership positions. They're they're, they're no longer the president. They're no longer the, on the board at all. Their they're just gone from all the leadership roles. That's super weird, right? I mean, this is a company that hasn't even existed really for a full year. You made it. It's your baby. And then outta nowhere on June 8th, you guys just say, all right, I'm done, I'm done. I'm out. I'm out, I'm out. I'm out. I'm out super weird. Right. Almost as weird as the fact that just a couple weeks after y'all did this knowing of course, that there was already an investigation happening into digital world acquisition, but yeah, a couple weeks after they resigned, the company got hit with subpoenas.

Hmm. Super I'm I'm sure it's totally a coincidence, right? That Donald Trump and his son and their friends that were on the board all totally bailed right before they got hit with subpoenas, which of course would explain why they weren't hit with subpoenas. You know, at the time I talked about the fact that, uh, Donald Trump's Trump median technology group was hit with the subpoenas, but Donald Trump himself was not hit with one, which I found rather odd. Now we know why he had bailed on his own company because they saw the writing on the wall. They saw the trouble that digital world acquisition was accused of being involved in. They knew as the investigation continued with both the S E C and now of course, the investigators in New York, they knew it was coming home. They knew it was coming back to them and they abandon their own company because they think, I guess that that's gonna keep them outta legal trouble. It's not because it doesn't matter if you're still currently serving on the board of the company. It doesn't matter if you've left the company entirely and moved to a different state because the alleged, uh, criminal activities took place last year when you were still with the company.

So I'm not exactly sure that they understand that just cuz you left it now doesn't mean if you did something illegal, then that you can still be prosecuted for it. So maybe they do know that. And so maybe this is just them saying I'm tired

Of, I don't wanna do it anyway. I wanna send out my truths either way. You gotta admit something about this story, certainly doesn't smell. Right. And I'm assuming that as this investigation continues, we're probably gonna find out why this particular story smells so funky.
