President Donald Trump already has won a $16 million settlement from Paramount for a “60 Minutes” interview with then-candidate Kamala Harris that was charged with being, essentially, a campaign ad for the Democrat.
And he’s collecting $15 million from ABC because George Stephanopoulos falsely claimed a jury found Trump liable for rape, when it didn’t.
Now he’s getting another payout, this time from YouTube for its censorship scheme that deprived Trump of access to some social media opportunities.
The amount is $24.5 million.

It is the Gateway Pundit that said Trump has sued the company for canceling his access in January 2021.
Trump’s censorship claims actually also included Twitter and Facebook.
“We’re demanding an end to the shadow-banning, a stop to the silencing and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing and canceling that you know so well,” Trump said in July 2021. “I am confident that we will achieve a historic victory for American freedom and at the same time freedom of speech.”
A report in the Wall Street Journal said YouTube agreed to the $24.5 million payment after Meta said it would pay $25 million and Twitter, now X, agreed to pay $10 million.
The Gateway Pundit said the settlement makes YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet’s Google, “the final Big Tech company to settle a trio of lawsuits Trump brought against social-media platforms in the months after he left the White House.”
Some of the payments have gone for Trump’s presidential library, others have gone directly to him.
