Trump Tries to Cash in on His Own Investigations

President Trump is attempting to make the Department of Justice pay him $230 million for opening investigations into him while Joe Biden was president, according to The New York Times.

Such a payment would have to be approved by senior department officials, who also happen to be former Trump lawyers and advisers that the president himself installed.
