TFG lashed out at the SEC for investigating his new social-media company, "regulator is biased"

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at federal regulators after they were reported to be launching an investigation into the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) backing his new social-media venture.

The SPAC, Digital World Acquisition Corp., disclosed in a Monday regulatory report that the Securities and Exchange Commission and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority had opened investigations into the intended merger with Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (TMTG).

Trump announced in October that he was launching a new social-media company named "TRUTH Social" under TMTG.

The SPAC said that neither the SEC nor FINRA had found any indication of wrongdoing, and that it was cooperating with both bodies.

I hope they're biased against corruption.

Biased toward companies conducting themselves in a legal and ethical manner. They look into companies who show signs of not conducting business in a legal and ethical manner, like say not filing their documentation in a timely manner, or... talking about receiving 1.6 Billion dollars in dark money.

That regulator is totally biased AGAINST CROOKS LIKE YOU, Trump.
