Trump Media Merger Granted Another Extension After Facing Investigations and Controversies
- Shareholders approved a one-year extension for the troubled merger between Digital World Acquisition Corp. and Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent of Truth Social.
- The extension provides more time to complete regulatory filings and close the deal after facing investigations, fraud charges, and other delays.
- Digital World shareholders voted to extend the deadline to avoid liquidation and allow the release of committed funds to Trump Media.
- The merger has faced scrutiny from federal regulators over potential securities laws violations and insider trading allegations.
- If completed, the merger would give Trump's media company access to over $1 billion from investors to support Truth Social.
