YouTube to pay $24.5 million to settle Trump account suspension suit
Sep 29, 2025 2:57 PM

(Reuters) -Alphabet-owned YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit that U.S. President Donald Trump brought against the company over the suspension of his account following the January 2021 U.S. Capitol riots, a court filing showed on Monday.

Trump filed lawsuits against Twitter, now known as X, and Facebook owner Meta , as well as Alphabet's Google, and their chief executives in July 2021, alleging they unlawfully silenced conservative viewpoints.

Both Meta and X agreed earlier this year to pay to settle the lawsuits.

Under the settlement, $22 million will be paid on Trump's behalf to the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the construction of a $200 million ballroom that Trump is building at the White House.

The rest of the settlement payment will go to other plaintiffs in the case including the American Conservative Union.
