The social media company Meta Platforms, Inc. will pay Donald Trump $25 million to settle a First Amendment lawsuit filed years ago in response to the president being suspended from Facebook over posts praising his supporters after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
On Wednesday, an attorney for Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg filed a notice of settlement in the Northern District of California.
“I write to inform the Court that the parties have reached an agreement to settle the named plaintiffs’ individual claims and resolve this matter,” the terse filing reads. “The parties will file a joint stipulation of dismissal with prejudice in the coming days.”
On Thursday, the dollar amount agreed upon was reported by The Associated Press, citing “three people familiar with the matter.”
