Trump Media (DJT) and Technology has jointly filed an emergency motion with its partner Rumble (RUM) in U.S. federal court to halt the suspension of Rumble in Brazil by a Brazilian judge. Last week, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued a set of gag orders against Rumble, demanding it censor the accounts of a Brazilian journalist residing in the United States. Refusing to comply, Rumble joined TMTG, whose global online platform Truth Social is powered, in part, by Rumble servers, in filing a lawsuit to have the gag orders deemed unenforceable in the United States. Moraes then ordered the suspension of Rumble in Brazil, imposed daily fines on Rumble, and threatened Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski with criminal charges. In response, TMTG and Rumble filed a motion yesterday for an ex parte temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Moraes. TMTG and Rumble filed the emergency motion in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
