YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit filed by U.S. President Donald Trump over the suspension of his account following the January 2021 Capitol riots, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday.
The settlement marks the final resolution in a series of lawsuits Trump filed against major social media platforms after leaving office.
Earlier this year, Meta agreed to a $25 million settlement, mostly for Trump’s presidential library, while X paid $10 million, much of it going directly to Trump.
According to court documents, Trump’s $22 million share of the YouTube settlement will go to the nonprofit Trust for the National Mall, funding a Mar-a-Lago-style ballroom on White House grounds. The remaining funds will be distributed to other plaintiffs, including the American Conservative Union.
Google reportedly aimed to keep its payout lower than the amount paid by Meta.
