In a recent security and exchange commission (SEC) filing, DWAC said it had received “several document requests and subpoenas from the SEC, seeking various documents and information regarding, among other things, Digital World’s due diligence regarding TMTG, communications regarding and due diligence of potential targets other than TMTG, relationships between and among Digital World (and/or certain of Digital World’s officers and directors) and other entities (including ARC Global Investments II LLC, Digital World’s sponsor, and certain advisors, including Digital World’s underwriter and financial advisor in its initial public offering).”

The company as a whole also received a grand jury subpoena. The subpoenas are related to documents including the company’s S-1 filings, “communications with or about multiple individuals, and information regarding Rocket One Capital,” the SEC filing read.
