The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has agreed to pay former President Donald Trump $10 million to resolve a lawsuit stemming from the suspension of his account that lasted nearly two years following the January 6 Capitol insurrection, CBS News reported on Wednesday, citing an anonymous source familiar with the situation.

The White House has opted not to comment when contacted by CBS News.

X suspended Trump’s account in January 2021, just two days after the Capitol riots. At that time, the platform claimed the permanent suspension was necessary “due to the risk of further incitement of violence.”

In July 2021, Trump initiated legal action against Twitter, asserting that the suspension infringed upon his First Amendment rights. A U.S. district judge dismissed the lawsuit in May 2022. However, Trump’s legal team appealed the decision, and that appeal was still pending this week, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, which was the first to disclose the settlement.

In November 2022, shortly after Elon Musk acquired Twitter and rebranded it as X, he reinstated Trump’s account.

Currently, Musk serves as the head of the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, acting as a special government employee reporting directly to Trump. Musk was also a significant financial backer of Trump’s presidential campaign.

Last month, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, paid Trump $25 million to settle a separate lawsuit regarding the suspension of his accounts in relation to the Capitol attack in 2021. Both his Facebook and Twitter accounts were reinstated in 2023.
