YouTube To Pay $24.5 Million Settlement for Donald Trump Lawsuit Over President's Account Suspension

U.S. President Donald Trump looks on during a meeting at the 80th session of the UN’s General Assembly (UNGA) at the United Nations headquarters on September 23, 2025 in New York City. World leaders convened for the 80th Session of UNGA, with this year’s theme for the annual global meeting being “Better together: 80 years and more for peace, development and human rights.”

YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit filed by United States President Donald Trump challenging the platform's decision to suspend his account after the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Court documents filed on September 29 reveal that the settlement brings to a close the last major case Trump initiated against a social media company for content moderation actions taken in the riot's aftermath.
