Google Settles Trump YouTube Suspension Lawsuit for $24.5 Million

Most of the payout is earmarked for the Trust for the National Mall to support a White House State Ballroom project.

Overview

  • $22 million will go to the Trust for the National Mall to help fund construction of the White House State Ballroom, according to a federal court filing.
  • The remaining funds will be distributed to other plaintiffs who joined the case, including the American Conservative Union.
  • The agreement resolves the case stemming from Trump’s 2021 YouTube suspension without any admission of liability.
  • Google confirmed the outcome and declined further comment, with the filing arriving about a week before a scheduled October 6 court hearing.
  • The deal extends a run of recent settlements between Trump and major media and tech companies, including Meta, ABC/Disney, Paramount, and X reported earlier this year.
