Trump-Tied SPAC Digital World Shares — Up Sharply Last Week — Down 8% After Former President’s Arrest

Shares of the blank-check company linked to former President Donald Trump were hammered just as he was arraigned and arrested yesterday.

Nasdaq-listed Digital World Acquisition — planning to merge with Truth Social holding company Trump Media and Technology Group — closed 8% lower at $14.03, Business Insider reports.

Shares had fallen more than 3% today in afternoon trading. Read more.
