Date: October 21st, 2025 3:23 PM Author: house-broken gay psychic kitchen Trump wants $230 million from DOJ for investigating him: NYT Published Tue, Oct 21 20252:43 PM EDTUpdated 9 Min Ago thumbnail Dan Mangan @_DanMangan Key Points President Donald Trump wants the Department of Justice to pay him $230 million in compensation for criminal investigations.
The New York Times reported that Trump has submitted complaints against the DOJ through an administrative claims process.
President Donald Trump has demanded that the Department of Justice pay him a whopping $230 million in compensation for its criminal investigations of him after his first term in the White House ended, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
The Times noted that any potential settlement might have to be approved by people he has appointed during his second term.
One of them, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, previously represented Trump as a defense attorney in criminal cases against the president.
Trump submitted complaints related to the DOJ’s probes “through an administrative claim process that is often the precursor to lawsuits,” the newspaper reported.
One claim, submitted in 2023, requests damages in connection with the DOJ’s investigation of interference in the 2016 presidential election by Russia and potential connections to Trump’s campaign that year, the Times said.
The other claim, filed in mid-2024, accuses the FBI of violating Trump’s rights by conducting a search of his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in 2022 as part of an investigation into his retention of classified government documents after leaving the White House at the end of his first term.
Trump was indicted in federal court in Florida in connection with that investigation on charges of retaining those records and of interfering in efforts by federal authorities to recover them.
A judge tossed out that case, and the DOJ ultimately dropped an appeal of her decision and the entire case after Trump won the 2024 election.
The Times noted that Trump alluded to his claims during an event last week in the Oval Office, while standing next to Blanche, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and FBI Director Kash Patel.
“I have a lawsuit that was doing very well, and when I became president, I said, I’m sort of suing myself. I don’t know, how do you settle the lawsuit, I’ll say give me X dollars, and I don’t know what to do with the lawsuit,” Mr. Trump said.
“It sort of looks bad, I’m suing myself, right?” Trump said. “So I don’t know. But that was a lawsuit that was very strong, very powerful.”

Date: October 21st, 2025 5:00 PM Author: Odious crackhouse Why the fuck are they so vague about what agency is processing the claim? Is this going to the Court of Federal Claims or what? Most administrative remedies have low caps on damages, so if he really wants $230mm he should have to take it to an Art. III judge.

Date: October 21st, 2025 5:06 PM Author: Odious crackhouse Most administrative appeals don't involve DOJ at all. This one only involves DOJ insofar as it accuses DOJ of misconduct. I assume Trump is "suing" through some agency that handles complaints about government agencies in general, and I assume the whole thing is overseen by CoFC.
For that matter, if DOJ is being accused of misconduct, DOJ would presumably be conflicted out of any "approval" role it might have. |

Date: October 21st, 2025 5:14 PM Author: Odious crackhouse lmao he's seeking the money in SETTLEMENT with DOJ, that's why it requires AG approval. Any settlement payout would be coming out DOJ's appropriations:
It sounds like Trump sent a demand letter to DOJ but that's it. If this were actually litigated there's no way Trump could prove $230mm in damages, even if he won on the merits. |

Date: October 21st, 2025 5:18 PM Author: Odious crackhouse PS there's this thing called THE JUDGMENT FUND that's nothing more than a big fat bank account full of money from Congress. If any agency has to pay out some enormous sum in litigation, so much that it could put the agency out of business that year, they might be able to get at THE JUDGMENT FUND money. It's not easy, but Trump is probably tailoring this in a way that lets DOJ get dat THE JUDGMENT FUND money to avoid paying out of its appropriations. I have never personally seen THE JUDGMENT FUND get tapped, but I've seen agencies try to do it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788385&forum_id=2\u0026hid=#49364708) |
