This morning, new questions about just how far President Trump is willing to go to turn the tables on his former prosecutors.
00:09
The New York Times was first to report that the president is demanding about $230 million in compensation from the Justice Department,
00:17
money he claims he's owed for what he calls years of unfair investigations into him.
00:22
The claims filed before he returned to the White House cover both the Russia investigation and the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
00:30
But now, the same department that once investigated him is run by his own appointees,
00:35
including Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, his former defense lawyer, one of the officials who may have to sign off on any settlement.
00:43
Legal experts tell the Times the ethical conflict is, quote, bizarre and almost too outlandish to believe.
00:50
I don't know what the numbers are. I don't even talk to them about it.
00:53
All I know is that they would owe me a lot of money, but I'm not looking for money.
00:57
I'd give it to charity or something. I would give it to charity.
01:00
With the country, it's interesting because I'm the one that makes a decision, right?
01:03
And, you know, that decision would have to go across my desk.
01:07
And it's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself.
01:11
In other words, did you ever have one of those cases where you have to decide how much you're paying yourself in damages?
01:17
But I was damaged very greatly.
01:18
And any money that I would get, I would give to charity.
01:21
The Times says about $230 million in taxpayer money could be at stake if the president's own Justice Department agrees that he deserves it.
01:30
It's always unen whales.
01:32
As just as you can all going through the quiz, congratulations to the Committee series of my success.
01:34
But I'm looking forward to getting the article into the Paper magazine.
