General Discussion

Former President Donald Trump left the board of his social media company just weeks before it was issued subpoenas by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a federal grand jury in Manhattan, records show.

Trump, who had served as the chair of Trump Media and Technology Group, was one of six board members removed, according to a June 8 filing with the Florida Department of State’s Division of Corporations. His son Donald Trump Jr. also departed the board, along with Wes Moss, Kashyap Patel, Andrew Northwall and Scott Glabe.

Truth Social, the company’s social media app intended to be an alternative to Twitter, posted a statement Thursday denying that Trump had left the board. A spokesperson for the company did not immediately respond to clarify the filing with the Florida state agency.

The “Board of Directors” page on Trump Media’s website appeared blank as of Thursday afternoon. The departures were first reported by the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.
