Alphabet’s YouTube agreed on Sept. 29, 2025 to pay $24.5 million to settle Donald Trump’s 2021 lawsuit over the platform’s post–Jan. 6 suspension of his account; under the deal, $22 million will be paid on Trump’s behalf to the Trust for the National Mall to support a White House ballroom project, with the remaining funds distributed to other plaintiffs including the American Conservative Union and author Naomi Wolf; YouTube admits no wrongdoing and will not change its moderation policies; Trump’s channel, suspended in 2021, was reinstated in March 2023; the agreement follows earlier settlements with Meta and X for about $25 million and $10 million, respectively, effectively closing out Trump’s major platform-suspension litigation.
