YouTube to pay $24.5m to settle Trump lawsuit over Capitol riot
As part of Monday's settlement, YouTube will pay $22m to the Trust for the National Mall, a non-profit group that is aiming to raise $200m to build a new ballroom at the White House.
Another $2.5m will be paid to other organisations and individuals who joined Trump's lawsuit, including the American Conservative Union.
YouTube is the latest major platform to settle with the president.
In January, Facebook's parent company Meta agreed to a $25m settlement - with $22m earmarked for Trump's presidential library.
A month later, social media platform X - a company that was purchased by Trump ally Elon Musk in 2022 - settled for a reported $10m.
All of Mr Trump's social media accounts have since been reinstated.

Why are they settling with Trump for lawsuits he can't win?
They're bribes disguised as a settlement.
Just to show him that the law doesn't matter, and that he can have whatever he wants as long as he threatens people with retaliation.
"Please don't go after us dear fuhrer"
His ballroom has a price tag of 200m? That guy is never going to leave the white house.
Not with that attitude
