That blank-check company last month completed a merger to take Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. public, allowing it to trade on the Nasdaq. Those co-founders have sued Trump Media in Delaware Chancery Court over their stake in the company. Trump Media did not immediately respond to CNBC's requests for comment on the lawsuit. Trump Media in an April 1 regulatory filing reported that ARC II owns 6.9%, or about 9.5 million shares, of the post-merger company.

The media company that Donald Trump recently took public is suing its co-founders, accusing them of failing "spectacularly" to get the company off the ground and then trying to "thwart the deal." In February, Moss and Litinsky sued Trump Media in Delaware Chancery Court over their stake in the company. They made "wasteful decisions" that caused "significant damage" to Trump Media and a decline in DWAC's stock price, the company claims. Trump Media calls the claim that UAV is owed stock "baseless," and says the services agreement Trump signed with UAV in 2021 is no longer valid. Lawyers for Trump Media did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on the lawsuit.
