"President Donald Trump is seeking a $230 million payout from the Department of Justice as compensation for the multiple federal investigations into him, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing several people familiar with the matter. And Trump's own appointees and allies are the ones who will have the power to green-light the potential nine-figure payout. The situation has no parallel in American history,"
"The complaints submitted by the president under the federal government's administrative claim process are connected to investigations into Russian election tampering and possible connections to the 2016 Trump campaign, the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago for classified documents, the criminal charges against him related to the mishandling of that classified material, and the investigations launched by former Attorney General Merrick Garland, former FBI Director Christopher Wray, and former Special Counsel Jack Smith."
