Trump Claims He Is Owed Millions by the Government Amid Federal Probes

President Donald Trump has claimed entitlement to compensation from the U.S. government for investigations he considers politically motivated, filing claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act seeking $230 million. The process involves potential payouts from the Judgment Fund, but ethical and conflict-of-interest issues arise due to Trump’s connections with Justice Department officials who might approve any settlement. Democrats are planning investigations into the matter, raising constitutional and ethical questions about the potential use of taxpayer money to settle claims against the government.
