纽约-根据周五的公开披露，唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的社交媒体公司和一些员工收到了联邦大陪审团和证券监管机构的传票，可能会推迟甚至扼杀一项承诺注入现金的交易推特。
特朗普媒体根据数字世界收购公司(Digital World Acquisition Corp .)周五提交的一份证券文件，科技集团收到了纽约大陪审团和美国证券交易委员会(sec)的传票。数字世界计划收购特朗普媒体，为其羽翼未丰的业务释放13亿美元，但在两次法律调查期间，这笔交易不太可能完成。
根据特朗普媒体的一份声明，特朗普媒体的董事长特朗普不在收到传票的员工之列。
周一，数字世界宣布收到了曼哈顿美国检察官办公室召集的同一个大陪审团的传票。几个月来，美国证交会一直在调查Digital World可能存在的违规行为，这一进展令该公司股价承压。
Digital World股票上周五收于5.78美元，一周内下跌了25%。去年该公司宣布收购前总统的社交媒体公司后，其股价超过100美元。
美国证券交易委员会一直在调查数字世界是否违反了规则，在数字世界于9月首次向公众出售股票之前，从去年年初开始就收购特朗普的公司进行了实质性谈判。仅仅几周后，它宣布将收购特朗普的公司。
数字世界是曾经流行的“空白支票”公司之一，这些公司作为没有运营的空公司实体上市，只向投资者承诺他们将在未来收购一家企业。因此，它们被允许在没有通常的监管披露和延迟的情况下迅速向公众出售股票，但前提是它们尚未确定可能的收购目标。
特朗普的社交媒体产品名为Truth Social，于2月份推出。它表示，它正在与言论方面的重大技术限制作斗争。去年1月6日国会大厦骚乱后，川普被禁止使用推特、脸书和YouTube。
特朗普媒体去年召集了几十名投资者向该公司注入10亿美元，但在完成对数字世界的收购之前无法获得现金。另外3亿美元将来自数字世界本身。
Trump social media firm subpoened by feds, stock regulators
NEW YORK -- Donald Trump's social media company and some of its employees received subpoenas from both a federal grand jury and securities regulators, according to a public disclosure Friday, possibly delaying or even killing a deal promising a cash infusion needed to take on Twitter.
Trump Media & Technology Group received subpoenas from a grand jury in New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to a securities document filed by Digital World Acquisition Corp. on Friday. Digital World has plans to buy Trump Media, releasing $1.3 billion for its fledging business, but the deal is unlikely to be done during two legal probes.
Trump, who is Trump Media's chairman, was not among the employees who received subpoenas, according to a Trump Media statement.
On Monday, Digital World announced it had received subpoenas from the same grand jury convened by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office. Digital World has been under investigation by the SEC for possible violations for months, a development that has weighed on the stock.
Digital World stock closed Friday at $5.78, down 25% in a week. It had been at over $100 last year after the company announced it had a deal to buy the former president's social media firm.
The SEC has been looking into whether Digital World broke rules by having substantial talks about buying Trump’s company starting early last year before Digital World sold stock to the public for the first time in September. Just weeks later it announced it would be buying Trump’s company.
Digital World is one of a once-popular group of “blank-check” companies that go public as empty corporate entities with no operations, only offering investors the promise they will buy a business in the future. As such, they are allowed to sell stock to the public quickly without the usual regulatory disclosures and delays, but only if they haven’t already lined up possible acquisition targets.
Trump’s social media offering, called Truth Social, launched in February. It said it is fighting Big Tech limits on speech. Trump was banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube last year after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Trump Media last year lined up dozens of investors to pump $1 billion into the company, but can’t get the cash until the Digital World acquisition is completed. An additional $300 million would come from Digital World itself.
