Shares of Trump Media surged in the first day of trading following an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Also on Monday, a federal judge presiding over Trump's classified documents trial in Florida dismissed the case because of her concerns over the appointment of the special prosecutor who brought the case.
Shares in the owner of social networking site Truth Social soared more than 31% to close Monday at $40.58.
The U.S. Secret Service is investigating how a gunman armed with an AR-style rifle was able to get on a nearby roof and shoot and injure the former president at a rally Saturday in Pennsylvania.
