President Trump demands $230 million from DOJ

More from this show

President Trump is demanding that the Department of Justice pays $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.

This situation is a first of its kind as Trump was pursued by federal law enforcement while being a presidential candidate, and won the election. Meaning, he now controls the very government that should be reviewing his claims.

Trump submitted complaints through an administrative claim process, that comes before a lawsuit, as early as 2023. His first claim seeks damages for a number of alleged violations to his rights, including an investigation into possible Russian election connection to the 2016 Trump campaign.

Partner of Montoya, Lucero, and Pastor, Stephen Montoya joined “Arizona Horizon” to expand on the legality and ethical conflicts of the demand.
