Always playing the perpetual victim, Grifter in Chief, and Con Artist in Chief, Trump now wants the Department of Justice We the People to pay him $230 million in compensation for criminal investigations.
The New York Times reported Tuesday.that any potential settlement might have to be approved by federal officials whom he has appointed during his second term. One of them, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, represented Trump as a defense attorney in criminal cases before he returned to the White House in early January.
“As far as all of the litigation … yeah, they probably owe me a lot of money,” Trump told reporters at the White House later Tuesday.
“It could be” the $230 million reported by the Times, he acknowledged.
The president also said that any decision by the DOJ to pay him compensation “would have to go across my desk, and it’s awfully strange to make a decision where I’m paying myself.”
“In other words, did you ever have one of those cases where you have to decide how much you’re paying yourself in damages?” Trump said.
“But I was damaged very greatly, and any money that I would get I would give to charity,”
