YouTube to pay $24.5m to settle lawsuit over Trump’s account suspension
Video platform settles lawsuit filed in response to Trump’s suspension over the January 6, 2021, riot at US Capitol.
Under the settlement, YouTube, which is owned by Google parent company Alphabet, will contribute $22m on Trump’s behalf to the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit that is overseeing a $200m project to construct a ballroom at the White House, a court filing showed on Monday.
Trump is never leaving the white house.
