What Happened: Former Trump Media & Technology Group employee Will Wilkerson was fired in 2022 after revealing a whistleblower complaint filed with the SEC to the Washington Post.
Wilkerson worked as one of the first employees of Trump Media & Technology Group, the owner of the Truth Social platform that is popular as the home of the thoughts and opinions of former President Donald Trump.
Trump & Media Technology Group announced a SPAC merger with Digital World Acquisition Corporation DWAC in 2021. Wilkerson’s complaint showed Trump Media & Technology Group raised money in fraudulent ways through the SPAC merger.

Attorneys said Wilkerson provided 150,000 emails, documents and contracts to the SEC that helped with its investigation.
