Trump Media's leadership claimed the company is being targeted by illegal short sellers hoping to drive down the price of shares. In a letter released Friday, Trump Media CEO Devin Nunes told the president of the NASDAQ, quote, "brokers have a significant financial incentive to lend non-existent shares." He believes at least some short sellers are betting shares will go down in price without owning or borrowing them which can be illegal.
