"I hope that's not true. For that kind of money, that's small ball, Fetterman said. And I think we have much bigger problems than worrying about those things. I hope it's not true. And of course, you know, the two $230 million should go to paying people's health insurance or other things. That's not a priority. I would never support for those kinds of payments."
"The president appeared to confirm reports about the DOJ payment at the White House on Tuesday when he was confronted on the matter. They probably owe me a lot of money. But if I get money from our country, I'll do something nice with it, like to give it to charity or give it to the White House, where we restore the White House. And we're doing a good job. As you know, the ballroom is under construction, Trump said."
Sen. John Fetterman dismissed President Donald Trump's pursuit of a $230 million DOJ payout as "small ball" and said such funds should instead pay for health insurance and other priorities. Fetterman said he hopes the effort is not true and that he would never support taxpayer payments of that kind. The president appeared to acknowledge seeking payment when confronted at the White House, saying the DOJ 'probably owe me a lot of money' and suggesting he would donate proceeds to charity or use them to restore the White House. The complaints relate to multiple DOJ investigations and filings in 2023 and 2024.
