YouTube has settled a lawsuit with former President Donald Trump for $22 million.
The lawsuit was related to the suspension of Trump’s YouTube channel.
Trump’s account was removed following the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
YouTube has reached a $22 million settlement in a lawsuit filed by U.S. President Donald Trump over the suspension of his channel.
Trump’s account was taken down in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, when his supporters stormed the building in an attempt to halt the certification of Joe Biden’s election win.
According to a court filing in California on Monday, the settlement funds will be allocated to a new White House construction initiative overseen by the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit organization focused on preserving and improving the historic site.
The money will specifically go toward the development of the State Ballroom at the White House.

The actress, who is married to billionaire politician Ned Nwoko, clarified that there was nothing inappropriate about the clip, emphasizing that the music used was part of a popular trend.
Regina explained that her intention was simply to create content inspired by the “Mama G” style, but social media users misinterpreted her post, causing unnecessary controversy.
She noted that she now feels compelled to respond to the online reactions, stressing that she did not intend any disrespect toward her husband. Regina added that the situation is being exaggerated by those who misunderstood her video.
Speaking on the matter, she said, “You guys are making my husband think otherwise with your comments. The video is normal, it’s just the soundtrack, and everyone uses it. You people should stop coming for me.”
She further added, “Guys, I really don’t understand why I’m even enjoying reading the comments. Why are you attacking me like this? If it’s not me, you are now forcing me to explain myself because it’s beginning to reach my husband. But it’s just the soundtrack.”
Regina concluded by warning that if the negative online reactions create problems in her marriage, she would hold social media users accountable.
