Tuesday, October 21, 2025

Trump has demanded that the Department of Justice pay him a whopping $230 million in compensation for its criminal investigations of him after his first term in the White House ended, The New York Times reported Tuesday. The Times noted that any potential settlement might have to be approved by people he has appointed during his second term. One of them, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, previously represented Trump as a defense attorney in criminal cases against the president.

One claim, submitted in 2023, requests damages in connection with the DOJ's investigation of interference in the 2016 presidential election by Russia and potential connections to Trump's campaign that year, the Times said.

The other claim, filed in mid-2024, accuses the FBI of violating Trump's rights by conducting a search of his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in 2022 as part of an investigation into his retention of classified government documents after leaving the White House at the end of his first term.
