President Donald Trump has won a $24.5 million settlement from YouTube over the platform’s suspension of his account following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots.
The Alphabet-owned company is the last of the three major social media platforms sued by Trump, alongside Meta and Twitter, now called X, to resolve claims tied to his removal.
According to a court filing obtained by Fox News Digital, $22 million of the settlement will be contributed on Trump’s behalf to the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit supporting construction of a new White House State Ballroom.
