Investors looking to get a jump on White House announcements will be able to buy sneak peeks starting Saturday as a Trump family company starts selling special, fast access to the president's posts on social media.

The White House had no comment, and the company dismissed the ethics issue, saying Democratic critics just don't like free markets.
