Trump Seeks $230 Million From DOJ

President Donald Trump is seeking $230 million from the Department of Justice for its criminal investigations of him, The New York Times reported. Through administrative claims filed in 2023 and mid‑2024, he challenges the Russia 2016 inquiry and the FBI’s 2022 Mar-a-Lago search. A Florida indictment over retained classified records was tossed, and the DOJ dropped its appeal after his 2024 election win. Any settlement could require approval by officials he appointed during his second term, including Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. In the Oval Office last week, Trump referenced the claims, remarking he was “suing myself.”
