Trump sues DOJ for $230M over investigations, raising conflict-of-interest concerns.

President Trump has filed a $230 million claim against the Justice Department over federal investigations into his conduct, including probes into Russian election interference and the Mar-a-Lago classified documents search, according to the New York Times. The claim, submitted through an administrative process that could lead to litigation, alleges violations of his rights and excessive legal costs. It raises ethical concerns due to senior Justice Department officials who previously represented Trump or his allies being involved in reviewing the claim, potentially creating conflicts of interest. Any settlement over $4 million would require approval from top officials with close ties to Trump, including Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Stanley Woodward Jr. The Justice Department has not commented, and the claim has not been formally verified or filed in court.
