Former U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a request seeking up to $230 million from the Department of Justice (DOJ) related to investigations during and after his presidency. This unprecedented demand, which raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and legal integrity, has sparked debate within legal circles. Trump’s legal team contends these investigations have caused substantial personal harm, prompting the request for compensation. 1While this move will likely impact legal processes, its immediate effects on cryptocurrency markets remain minimal. Legal experts express concern, however, as groups like Lawyers for Good Government raise concerns about Trump’s claim potentially jeopardizing DOJ impartiality. The possibility of career DOJ attorneys acting as his personal defenders when approving taxpayer-funded payments is a serious ethical dilemma.
