Google agreed to pay €21.2 million ($24.5 million) to resolve Donald Trump’s claims that being banished from his YouTube channel after the 6 January 2021 riot at the US Capitol was illegal censorship, according to a court filing.
The filing says €19 million (22 million) will go toward construction of a new ballroom in the White House, a project near and dear to Trump.
The remainder will go to a handful of other plaintiffs who joined Trump in the legal action.
Walt Disney’s ABC News agreed in December to pay €13 million ($15 million) toward a future Trump presidential foundation or museum to end a suit claiming anchor George Stephanopoulos defamed him in a statement about a court case against Trump.
In July, Paramount Global announced a €13.8 million ($16 million) settlement with Trump over his suit accusing CBS Broadcasting Inc. of deceptively editing its October 60 Minutes interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris during the presidential campaign.
