John,

Donald Trump's audacity is even greater than we thought. He's now demanding $230 million from his own Department of Justice as “compensation” for being investigated.

You read that right. Trump is telling taxpayers like you to pay him hundreds of millions of dollars because law enforcement dared to hold him accountable.

But here's the worst part: the DOJ officials now deciding whether to give him that money are his former defense lawyers. These are the same people who used to represent him in court.

This isn’t just corruption. It’s self-dealing on a historic scale.

Trump’s demand dwarfs payouts to actual victims — families of the Sutherland Springs shooting, survivors of Larry Nassar’s abuse, and the Mother Emanuel church massacre. All received less than what Trump claims he’s “owed.”

And the reality is, if his DOJ agrees to the settlement, we pay the bill. Every taxpayer. Every working family. Every person who still believes presidents should serve the people, not the other way around.

This really is. new low from Trump. While millions suffer from his shutdown over healthcare, he’s trying to turn public service into a personal payday.

Building Blue is fighting back. We're exposing Trump’s corruption, organizing in battlegrounds, and working to elect leaders who put people before power.

If you’re ready to stop Trump from cashing in on his crimes, now’s the time to act. Chip in today for the 2026 midterms and help us take our democracy back.

America deserves justice, not a golden payout for corruption.
