Trump says he ‘could be’ seeking $230 million from his own Justice Department

President Donald Trump said he “could be” seeking $230 million from his own Justice Department over past investigations, adding he’d give any payout to charity or use it for White House renovations. He called the situation “awfully strange,” noting he could be deciding how much to pay himself; any settlement would come from taxpayers. The New York Times reported the claims were filed in 2023 and 2024, tied to the Russia probe and the classified documents case. With details unclear, DOJ said officials follow ethics guidance amid questions about potential conflicts.
