The Securities and Exchange Commission has signed off on one of the last outstanding hurdles to a more than two-year-old planned merger to take the Donald Trump's media venture public, according to the companies behind the deal, Trump Media & Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission allowed Donald Trump's media and technology company to merge with a blank-check acquisition vehicle in a deal that currently values the parent of his social media app Truth Social at as much as $10 billion. Does this mean that Trump can use this money to pay off settlements against him? I tried to find out online but could not find an answer. There is nothing on cable news about this and I would think it would be big news because it would affect his ability to pay the settlements and would settle the issue of whether or not he is a billionaire.
