Trump Supporters Seek $10M Each from Feds
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Over four hundred individuals pardoned by Trump for the January sixth Capitol attack are seeking millions in compensation, with many asking for one to ten million each. Their lawyer, Mark McCloskey, filed claims with the Justice Department, citing injuries and property damage during arrests and imprisonment. This move follows Trump supporters and allies pursuing taxpayer funds since his return to the White House. The Justice Department is in settlement talks with former Trump officials, and Trump himself has suggested the department owes him money. McCloskey believes his clients deserve compensation due to job loss, license revocation, and travel restrictions. However, a former senior Justice Department official noted that presidential clemency does not negate legal basis for charges, and the bar for claims against prosecutors is high.
